Bill, (Lord) Rowcester was well and truly in the gumbo. With the benefit of hindsight he could see that setting himself up as a Silver Ring bookie might not have been his smartest move ever. Particularly when being down on his dibbs threatens his oncoming nuptials with the sterling Jill Wyvern. Lucky for Bill he had the land-lease of Jeeves.

The worst Jeeves novel unfortunately
Revisado: 10-03-22
A huge fan of Wodehouse, Jeeves, Blandings and everything else Plum, I have always been greatly disappointed by Ring for Jeeves. The story is weak. Very weak. It bumps jarringly all the way. The characters are neither interesting nor well-developed. The plot and subplots are brittle and forced and the attempts at humour are flat, strained, and repetitive and one can always guess the exact punchline is coming up next. This is like a post-Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner which lasts for weeks on leftovers from other novels and causes much dyspepsia. Not even the Amazing Mr Nigel Lambert can redeem it, although he tries his best.
Every Wodehouse lover will read this, for we must read all his works which are so brilliant, and leave wondering why Plum wrote this at all.

A classic ruined by the narration
Revisado: 03-24-19
The Judas Tree is one of Cronin's best novels for me. It is not my intention here to review the novel itself, but to express my dismay at a fumbling narration. So irritating it is that one almost waits for the next stutter and inevitably it comes with unnerving regularity.
Second Take (Some days later)
I have abandoned the book. The performance is just so bad an irritating that I decided to quit it. I wonder if Audible will give me a refund.
