Review of 'The Man with Two Left Feet and Other Stories' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
This is the first book I've read by Wodehouse, and it is obvious I've been missing a lot. This is a nice collection of short stories, and even though they are all engaging there is not one that I found amazingly good.
"Bill the Bloodhound" and "The Making of Mac's" are not as funny as entertaining; "Extricating Young Gussie" introduces Bertie and a lot of funny situations; "Wilton's Holiday" and "A Sea of Troubles" find characters in weird and complicated situations. "Crowned Heads" and "One Touch of Nature" are sort of forgettable; "At Geisenheimer's", "Black for Luck", "The Romance of an Ugly Policeman" and "The Man with Two Left Feet" are all endearing. Finally, "The mixer" is adorable!
