An entertaining book. A good laugh on the way to work.

Probably it's my fault, but I couldn't appreciate the book at all. The humor is not really sparkling, and my knowledge of english is not that good. Finally I finished it.

Comic, picaresque account of a journey down the Thames. I actually bought this to clarify Connie Willis' "To Say Nothing of the Dog" (taken from the parenthetical sub-line of this novel.) It's been touted as Bertie Wooster takes a trip, but I much prefer Wodehouse to this.
