Impossible to read without grinning idiotically. Tinkety-tonk!
Mark Sanderson, Evening Standard
Schott rises to the occasion with a rebooting of one of literature’s great double acts that captures His Master’s voice and, above all, the famous Wodehouse rhythm... A brilliant conceit: a network of spies in livery, silently watching the movers and shakers.
The Times
A glorious procession of high jinks
Louis Wise, Sunday Times
His sensitivity to the tics and cadences of his characters’ speech and ways of being is uncannily acute, and full of the same freshness and resonance of perception as Wodehouse’s own style. . . it vibrates with the spirit and rhythms of [Wodehouse’s] heart
Matthew Adams, Sunday Times
An amusing and well-written homage to the master . . . Schott excels with a series of similes and metaphors every bit as striking as those Wodehouse came up with. A delight to read.
Observer
The cast is a delight, with many characters who will be familiar to Wodehouse aficionados . . . his prose is elegant and charming and he captures the lilt and rhythms of the original . . . a warm, worthy and rollicking tribute.
Literary Review
A book that is so close in spirit and style to the PG Wodehouse originals it’s like the real thing
The Sport
Highly recommended
Daily Express
There are laughs and admirable ingenuity in Schott’s confection
Irish Times
Peerless in its wit, elegance and silliness. It is the most successful homage to PG Wodehouse's Wooster and Jeeves stories to date. The footnotes are a joy of misplaced erudition. More of the same, please.
Robert Fox, Evening Standard, BOOKS OF THE YEAR
This joyous and thoughtful tribute leaves you wanting more.
Sophie Ratcliffe, TLS
Remarkably good… in its similes, pace and general zing, this yarn is eerily Wodehousian. Blisteringly well done.
Quentin Letts, Daily Mail
Top-notch fun.
S magazine
A most thrilling return of Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster.
Sunday Times
A true delight.
Vanity Fair
A fizzy new homage... Schott burnishes the gleam.
New York Times
By Jove! It's a ripping old yarn... Dashed agreeably close to the master.
Daily Mail
It is hard not to warm to this hugely entertaining homage.
Mail on Sunday
A hugely enjoyable caper
The Week
Glorious . . . undeniably an impressive, hugely enjoyable feat of ventriloquism.
Christmas Books, Country Life Magazine
Succeeds triumphantly, both as light entertainment and as a tribute to the master
Country & Town House
In his first foray into PG Wodehouse homage/imitation/pastiche (whichever it may be) Schott appeared to hit the Wodehouse target dead on.
