Critic reviews
- A 2004 Notable Book of the Year (The New York Times Book Review)
"[An] inventive romp. (The New Yorker)
"Ames' tale zips along, brimming with comedy and wild details, proving him to be a winning storyteller and a consummate, albeit exceedingly eccentric, entertainer." (Publishers Weekly)

Hard work
Any additional comments?
Slightly odd, save your credit! Fortunately for me I downloaded this as a freebie, otherwise I would probably have had to return it. I persevered but just really didn't get it. It links in with "The Extra man," and is equally as odd. Again there are several different story lines which are only just semi entertaining. This book also made me feel uncomfortable in places and is not one to read if you are feeling slightly low. What was the purpose of this book? Maybe its just me, but it was hard work, I wouldn't waste a credit on it. As a freebie, well the choice is yours.

bizarre but entertaining
A nice twist on the old character's. Nothing like woodhouse, but probably better to innovate than imitate.

I could listen to Jonathan Ames read anything
Once again Jonathan Ames has managed to make my commute to work totally bearable.
The story is an interest one but it's the amazing characters and their interplay that make this a great book. From the main character who I think most of us can relate with, to his valet Jeeves who is very much the voice of reason.
Although I enjoyed this story, I think I would purchase an audio book of Jonathan Ames reading the ingredients for lice spray. He has a lovely calming voice and with little tweaks of his voice here and there he creates completely believable characters.
