It had a slow beginning, so I was afraid I wouldn't like it, but the second part of the book was charming :) I really liked Jimmy, he was so intelligent, generous and fun. My favourite scene was definitely Maud's reaction to Jimmy's story, when he finally told her the truth - it was precious :) I really enjoyed this book. ( ) OK, but not as funny as a lot of Wodehouse. After seeing a play featuring a gentleman burglar, Jimmy, an American of means, bets his friends that he could break into a residence only to find a burglar breaking into his own a bit later. He enlists the help of the burglar in achieving his bet only to find himself caught in the act by the owner of the home, a police commissioner. To further complicate matters, the commissioner's daughter is a young woman on whom Jimmy has developed a serious crush. It gets more complicated from there as the action moves to England and involves a few aristocratic types. I would have likes to have seen a simpler plot and more genuine humor than what resulted. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Wodehouse could pull off without a hitch. After falling in love with a comely fellow passenger on a sea voyage, wealthy gadabout Jimmy Pitt is sucked into a downward spiral of unfortunate events and bad decisions while trying to woo his beloved. .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
