Review of 'The Girl on the Boat' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

A non-Jeeves piece with a cast of characters getting into zany situations. It explicitly calls out the fact that the most interesting characters get very little time on stage, but it does so in a manner in which one can hardly resent the flaw. I was going to call it understated humour, but the amount of hyperbole Wodehouse will throw in here and there makes that an unsatisfying description.

I listened to the audiobook version at Librivox and enjoyed the narration as much as the story itself.
