This book definitely follows PG Wodehouse's usual story line and it is funny. But the unusual part to me is that it closely resembles the book The Intrusion of Jimmy by this same author. It even uses a lot of the same names for its characters. The supporting details for the story and for the characters differ a little though. I like The Intrusion of Jimmy a lot better though. This book (The Gem Collector) almost seems to be a first attempt and The Intrusion of Jimmy a more rounded out better written story/copy of the original??? I haven't looked up copyright dates so I have no idea which one was written first. This is only my impression after listening to both books.
