Classic.. and the authors note is a lovely treat.
The Authors note set the tone.. at first, it was a slow start getting to know all the characters.. after which is was a beautiful to go through in record time..

2 levels at Blandings
This novel introduces us to some of the Blandings quirks. Not as funny as some of the others novels in the series. A fine example of Wodehouse’s craftsmanship at birthing characters. Over all has a feel good, positive vibe

An interesting book from PGW
I loved the book. The narration did make me lose focus at times but it was still overall a good story, nice performance and happy ending.

Good fun
The novel has all the hallmarks of a typical P.G.Woodhouse novel. It’s however not as circuitous as his later series. It’s a great introduction to Blandings Castle cast. Well written and well read. I really appreciated the author’s note at the beginning. One can see his humour as evidenced on his novels even in his commentary like popularity of three name authors. Real fun listen. Would recommend.

Great story average narration
It’s a PGW masterpiece which has given great joy as a book reader. As an audiobook the experience was not very great. The dialogues of female character have been narrated with unnecessary timidity and squeakiness. After a while it sounds irritating. I don’t think there is a need to change the voice as per gender in a narration. It sounds unreal and takes the listeners away from story. Due to this, the experience dampened a bit.
