Review: Quick Service

Editorial Review - Kirkus Reviews

England carries on, and Wodehouse too in another whirlwind tale with a plenty of playful pyrotechnics. This is about Joss, who loses his job (advertising hams), falls in love, valets a socially unacceptable, thefts a picture, gets his gal and re-wangles his job in typically involved Wodehousian fashion. A few misplaced identities, good tangential romanticking, and more porcine pother as Joss is in and out of J.B. Duff's Paramount ham business, sailing merrily about under false colors. Manufactured situations don't bother Wodehouse fans, and there is plenty of fun for their enjoyment. Ran in Saturday Evening Post.

A solid mid period Wodehouse though the plot seemed largely familiar from other books. Basically this could have been a Blandings novel - slotting in new characters doesn't necessarily make it different. However, the dialogue is crisp as new minted fiver! Read full review

Excellent read. I'm an avid Wodehouse fan but hadnt read it. I read an interview with PG where he said that this and one other book were his 2 favourites. It did not disappoint. Now off to read the other one of his favourites, Sam the Sudden,

I'm a huge fan of Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster short stories, but this is the first time I've read this novel of his. Absolutely hilarious with hoot out-loud sentences that you read again just to savor them again. I highly recommend this funny, classic read.
