I wasn't sure what to expect going into Something Fresh, never having read Wodehouse before.
The best word I can use to describe this novel is "delicious". There are one or two things that dated slightly and the characters are very one-dimensional, and the ending comes out of nowhere, but I think that's for a reason, as Wodehouse is satirising the English aristocracy of his time. I found the character of Beach, the Blandings butler, particularly amusing, with his Minor Health Problems Capitalised Like This .
An elegantly witty read.
