review 1: An early Wodehouse about a poor, helpless soul that the world insists on treating gently-- in fact, getting him out of any scrape he gets into and handing him oodles of money to boot. It's charming, if it doesn't quite survive in our darker age. Nowadays the young feller would have his head handed to him on the proverbial platter of life, right? Or perhaps I'm too cynical for this friendly tale that maintains its belief in good luck and success despite one's best efforts to fail.
review 2: Written in nineteen-sixteen in serial magazine format, this early Wodehouse offering foreshadows his mature humorous style in books, plays and lyrics. The interweaving stories present a passive, ordinary man who experiences life as happening to him rather than seeking it ... moreout. And there may be good reason, as he is beset by poorly intensioned women, con artists and financial crooks, but is extracated from all evils in most amusing ways. Highly Recommended! less
