Book Reviews of Money for Nothing
Book Review: Let's take a trip to the country....
Summary: 5 Stars
..or at least the countryside as only P. G. Wodehouse can describe it. In Wodehouse's England it is always the 1920's or early 1930's, there is always a stately countryhouse or two, complete with butler, a charming village filled with eccentric characters, a few bright (or not so bright) young things and a delightfully wild plot, sometimes more. This is the formula that Wodehouse developed early in his career and happily stuck to for over ninety books.
MONEY FOR NOTHING stays with this formula. It is set in the village of Rudge-in-the-Vale and involves the recent, but bitter feud between two pillars of the local community, Col. Wyvern and Lester Carmondy, two nephews, a daughter, a health club, a couple of con artists, and a terrier named Emily. As this large and diverse group's paths cross and recross a delightful story develops involving, schemes to defraud insurance companies, escape to London, steal antiques and a romance. It is silly to the point of absurdity and impossible to read without laughing outloud every few pages.
This is not a piece of great literature that will alter your life forever. This is a wonderful place to escape to when the 21st century becomes too much, a place where it is always a sunny summer day in the charming English countryside.
