Reseñas de la Crítica

"This is a wonderful collection, so well done, I m continually amazed at how well BJ does the voices and the production is of the highest quality. The jeeves episodes are my favorites of all time, they make me laugh each time I listen to them time, which I do often. I can't recommend this collection and his work in general enough!" - Anthony G. "I have loved reading PG Wodehouse since I was a teen, and have never ever heard anyone interpret the zany hijinks and subtle sarcasm as well as BJ Harrison. There are nights I would try to fall asleep to his wonderful voice but the funny would keep me awake :) If you love the stories of Wodehouse, you will love how BJ brings them to life." - Dee "B. J. does a great job with all of the Wodehousian characters, male and female. I don't know how he does it, even mixing British and American accents when appropriate. Very entertaining and recommended to all of P. G.'s fans (which should be everbody who cares about great writing.)" - Grampaul

Delightful collection of P. G. Wodehouse with stories I have not heard before and gives me more appreciation of his abilities. Narration by B. J. Harrison is so well done, especially with the variety of characters, enhances these entertaining stories. Great addition to my library

Great author narrator pairing

I find that p g wodehouse write fantastically, and in this case the narration is spot-on, especially with Bertie. the humor has me rolling, andthe narration has me speaking with an English accent for the better part of an hour after listening.

I loved everything about this audiobook

I’m American so maybe my ear for an English accent isn’t the best but I found the narration enhanced the characters and now I read Bertie Wooster and Jeeves in his voices. These were some of the most hilarious, witty, and entertaining short stories I’ve come across and I can’t believe more people haven’t heard of Wodehouse! Definitely recommend!

Clever stories and delightful narration

Love his writing. Have listened to a lot of his work read by different narrators, all of it is great. Light, great humour.

The stories are brilliantly funny. The reader is excellent. This is one of the best Audible purchases I have made. If you love Wodehouse you'll want this collection.

Hilarious, Good-Natured, Pure Joy.

The short stories as a whole were entertaining and the novel at the end called What Ho, I believe, had me at times absolutely laughing until my sides hurt

well worth it

There's nothing I disliked about this collection! I had never listened to or read anything by the author, but I have immediately become a fan and will search out everything he wrote...hopefully the same Narrator will bring the stories to life. Chapter 13, "The Man Upstairs," was a fun little romance adventure and I'm wondering if the vintage 70's song, "Knock Three Times," by Tony Orlando and Dawn, was inspired by this particular story. I love the Butler Jeaves.

The Narrator and The Stories

Yes, I dare to say that, and I adored Mr. Cecil's rendering of Wodehouse, until I tried BJ Harrison. SO glad I did! Now I deliberately seek Mr. Harrison's narrations of Wodehouse. His pacing is, IMO, much better, not so rapid that the characters often sound spastic. Mr. Harrison gives a unique voice to every character and they all sound like real people, not caricatures, and he does women better than most of the countless male narrators I have listened to, and is equal with the best of them. He also puts his entire soul into the performance, or so it seems to me. Wodehouse comes to life! There are many American characters in these delightful, brilliant, wonderful, hysterically funny stories, and Mr. Harrison plays them to perfection while doing a great job with the contrasting British accent. I'm American, and I don't slam audio books based on how absolutely perfectly a British narrator does American accents.

I will listen to this Audio book every now and then for the rest of my life. I LOVE everything about it. Please Mr. Harrison, keep narrating!

Better than Jonathan Cecil

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

NO, It's 16 hours long, but it does make the listening go by very fast.

Any additional comments?

P.G. Wodehouse is B.J. Harrison's best work, you can tell he really likes to narrate this author.

Great narration

I had never read a great deal of P.G. Wodehouse, but so many of my literate friends love him. I was hesitant about this anthology, because one or two of the reviews said the narrator slurred words and wasn't clear. But I wanted an anthology of writings, so I could get a sense of the range of the author. First, the narrator is absolutely terrific, very clear and a wonderful actor with so many voices and accents. He brings the characters to life. I think the issue with the narrator is British terms that may not be familiar to American readers. And P. G. Wodehouse has an impeccable command of English. These stories are so wonderfully written, they are a delight. They do make you laugh out loud. I now understand why people love P.G. Wodehouse. However, I just find Bertie Wooster and Jeeves dated. Not in an historical sense, but in a cultural sense. We no longer live in a world of aristocratic or patriarchal authority, the world of service Jeeves inhabits, or the Great Depression, so making fun of a shallow, silly, idly rich man holds no satisfaction for me. These stories remind me of the Great Gildersleeve and Life of Riley on radio in the 30's and 40's, where the overbearing man of the household fumbles his way through a story of twists and turns that turn out right in the end. I'm glad I listened, but I won't be listening to any more.

Great Anthology But ...
