"This book had all of the classic Wodehouse elements and characters, but it seemed to me that it had a bit too much of them. There were almost too many plot lines tangled together and it was hard for me to remember who wanted to marry whom and just exactly why this person needed 250 pounds.
Uncle Fred is a great character, and there are several very funny moments, but the Wodehouse standard is so high I would put this in the middle of the pack."
"Definately Wodehouse at his best. Wildly complex and silly webs of confusion and deceit spun by the inimitable Earl of Ickenham (Uncle Fred), and then seemlessly untangled at the end so that girl gets boy, boy gets onion soup bar, and of course Lord Emsworth gets back his beloved pig, Empress of Blandings. It's like the very best magic trick you can imagine. But that's what you get when it's springtime in London, and Lord Ickenham sets his mind to spreading sweetness and light."
