Recommendation:  Fun story, rather dated, but a good laugh and the audio from libravox is simply fantastic.
Recommended By:  Nobody, I'd always wanted to read a book by Wodehouse.
Review:


This book is largely silly.  The discussions of the diplomats, however are excellent as they embody the ridiculous obtuseness of language used by diplomats in a truly hyperbolic manner.  While the book seems stilted by today's standards, it was a fun book to hear and the time investment is trivial.
