Reviewer: UZ - October 8, 2015 Subject: Thanks I am staying ill in bed and only half way through the book. Thanks to both the readers for giving me such wonderful company. |

Reviewer: Tiffany - January 12, 2015 Another fun story by Wodehouse! I enjoyed listening to the differing styles of Madame Tusk and Yaz Pistachio, and thought they both did great . . . Contrary to the insulting and utterly snobbish review posted in July, I think Wodehouse can be read, delivered, and/or ultimately enjoyed in numerous ways, just as I enjoyed this book and its readers! |

Reviewer: User - July 18, 2014 Enunciation taking the place of any character...Wodehouse is brimming over with charisma and humor that is funniest when it is delivered properly, which is, in my opinion with the reader giving the audience the impression of a sly smile attached to the recital, an in- joke the audience is kindly let in on...here the impression is that of an earnest and enthusiastic but still incompetent elementary school teacher introducing the classics to her class of most probably sleepy-eyed prepubescent pupils, bored to tears by the hum of white noise that Ms Pistachio undoubtedly produces. This is the same kind of smarm that winds up on American television in the form of "cozies" and period dramas. Please stick to your day job, whatever it is, probably correcting your customers on the proper pronunciation of "lapsang souchong" as they request their drinks from you at the coffee shop, dear, and try not to entertain the idea of letting the possibility of the thought entering your head of going into acting. You lost me at "Hamp shire" ...to rhyme with "quag mire". |

Reviewer: AudioBookFanSur - January 14, 2013 Subject: I Love a Bit of Wodehouse! Wodehouse books are always so delightful, and charming. Listening to this while I worked made it feel like it was Sunday afternoon. Thanks so much Yaz Pistachio and Madame Tusk for reading it to me so beautifully! :) |
