Negative Positive
Title: very disappointing
Review: I'm a huge Wodehouse fan, but this is the most unfunny novel of his mature years. I thought it was a Jeeves and Bertie novel that I did not have in my collection, and was excited to come upon one that I may not remember too much of. There's a Jeeves in it, of a sort, but no Bertie. This Jeeves, if you can believe it, actually laughs out loud. "Ha ha," Wodehouse has him say, without a hint of irony. As if that weren't enough, a little bit later he is made to scream--as part of a role-play, true enough, but do we want even role-playing Jeeveses going about the place screaming? I thought not. And the rest of the cast talk like they are from a bad 70s British sitcom. All in all quite horrid stuff if you are familiar with the best of Plum.
Is the review positive or negative?
