Reviews
Renita Dirks
always love p g wodehouse. im sad this is the last of the psmith books. it would certainly be easier listening if one reader read the whole book.
Heslep
Good book. Several readers were bad though. They couldn’t comprehend the concept of a silent “p” even while reading aloud an explanation of the silent “p.”
another excellent book by this author

One of my absolute favourites. I thank the volunteers too, of course ❣️

Some pronunciations are hilarious. Even the Authors name is mispronounced at the beginning.

This amusing story deserves good readers and consistant treatment throughout. I know they are volunteers but, really, what is so hard to understand about the statement ' the P is silent'? It's too bad that one of the better readers couldn't have read the entire book.
