Rating: 5
Summary: Delicious but not fattening
Comment: I see that my fellow reviewers of this tasty comic novel are willing to weigh in at only four of the possible five stars. I dissent vigorously and award the full five. Nothing less than five will do for a storyline so perfectly convoluted, language and syntax so recklessly heedless of anything real or centered. The characters are familiar Wodehouse types: quaintly erratic and utterly dependable for their supply of humor. Feydeau never plotted anything as neat and door-bangingly twisted, and the master Wodehouse provides page after page of crackpot ways to describe all of the door-slamming action.
Rating: 4
Summary: Delightful Wodehouse
Comment: I would never have the audacity to reveal the inticate plot of "Cocktail Time," (or any other Wodehouse novel, for that matter.) Suffice it to say that "Cocktail Time" is vintage Wodehouse. The novel contains a variety of familiar Wodehouse characters such as Lord Ickenham (the Uncle Fred of several novels and short stories), Beefy Bastable, and Cosmo Wisdom, a typical Wodehousian "black sheep" of the family. The novel is also filled with eccentric British peers, American con artists, and incompetent law enforcement agents. It even has a scene at the notorious Drones Club, so beloved by Bertie Wooster in the Jeeve's series. It's all very much fun. Wodehouse once described his novels as "musical comedy without music, ignoring life altogether." "Cocktail Time" is indeed reminiscent of a 1920's musical comedy without the music in which Wodhouse skillfully juggles a variety of characters and situations, and creates a satirical and humorous novel that is immensely enjoyable. The novel also ignores the realities of life, a quality that can make it infinitely enjoyable to any reader desiring to escape the crudities of early twenty-first century life.
