Rumpole à la Carte by John Mortimer

4.0

This was my first Rumpole and as soon as I read one story I knew I'd finally found a successor to Wodehouse. Oh my days is the narration ever funny. The similes are hilarious, as is Rumpole's gentle sarcasm. Mortimer can also get a point across in a simple, funny way, without bashing the reader over the head. This is going on my comfort read pile--I'm always going to need some Rumpole around to cheer me up.
