Book Review: The Code of the Woosters
His hand moved upwards, and I think his idea was to bare his head reverently. The project was, however, rendered null and void by the fact that he hadn't a hat on.P.G.Wodehouse's best-loved creation by far is the master-servant team of Bertie Wooster, the likable nitwit, and Jeeves, his effortlessly superior valet and protector. This unlikely duo is as famous as Holmes and Watson, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, and Tracy and Hepburn, but they have their own very special inimitable charm. According to Walter Clemons, Newsweek, "They are at their best in The Code of the Woosters," in which Bertie is rescued from his bumbling escapades time and again by that gentleman's gentleman: Jeeves.
A good novel is characterized by the strength and brilliance of prose and plot. In addition, readers of a humor novel also expect elements of comedy in words, actions and to some extent a lunacy in plot and setting. If a well written humor novel also has an intricate narrative, wit and weirdness that perfectly blend together, what we have in hand is a synchronized narrative that can make the readers laugh. With its delightful prose and strong characterization, The Code of the Woosters is an excellent humor novel.
