Have you ever had a friend recommend a book and you thought life is probably too short? What I mean is, you respect them as a friend but you think their overzealousness about a particular book is rather annoying. So a friend of mine recommended this book years ago and I was wrong not to try it. What a funny and unusual collection of short stories! The character development is possibly the author's strength. Also, the insights into human nature are wonderful. I was unfamiliar with the works of P.G. Wodehouse before this but I would love to read more. Enjoy!
