Reader added greatly to entertainment!


(5 stars)

Very humorous satire on New York with my favorite Wodehouse character, Psmith cleverly revising a "family" newspaper into something that will sell more papers, while the editor is on a 10 week vacation for health reasons. He decides to fight a slum landlord with news articles to the point that his life is endangered. The reader really brings it to life. The only negative is the street smart kids use of derogatory terms for Italians, and also a derogatory word. for an African American on one occasion but without any hatred or putting them down otherwise, but seeming to be a sort of ignorant street type of language. Other than this it is a funny story that is well written with a bit of action and a tough gang leader that likes cats. Thank you very much to the wonderful reader.

Awesome!

Psmith is a hoot, I love all the misadventures he gets into while trying out new jobs. Must be tough having the money and the easygoing papa to back up such endeavors. Reader and sound recordings were fine, no complaints, thank you!

Funny, and well read

Consistently well read. Made me laugh. Any attempt to do an English accent would have been a mistake. Hope the P in Psuke is silent...

👍👍👍👍👍

P. Smith slumming and finaggling NYC men in blue and biz owners. What a hoot. Timely story .... or is it timeless? Great reader!

Wodehouse is always a breath of fresh air in the monotony of the literary world. He comes up with such out of the world plots.
