Stories comes in all shapes and
shades. I have always thought, be it stories, movies or an act, comedy is
probably the most difficult to demonstrate. This story by P.G Wodehouse is one
such comedy but beautifully told in the most amusing language and tone.
PG Wodehouse has written many books
and is the master creator of fictional characters- Bertram Wooster and his
Valet, Jeeves. Bertram Wooster is a wealthy man born to a famous and socially
privileged family. With all his education, confidence and abilities, he
constantly finds himself in a pickle. His valet ,on the other hand ,is a master
brain who devises brilliant solutions to all the holes that his master lands
in.
This particular book is about Mr
Wooster’s troubles at Totleigh towers where he tries to fix broken relations
ships, trying very hard not to steal antiques and helmets and in short wholeheartedly attempts to
keep himself safe, yet it is hardly the outcome.
The humour is laced into words and lines which reveals itself only if you actually read and not skim through. It is difficult at first but once your teeth sinks, it is hilarious and throws you into fits of laughter.
The book is a gem as it is a unique take on comedy and the probably, the most wonderful aspect is, the more you read ,the more the love for it.
I can hear many asking what does the
title mean!. Patience my comrades!, the pages shall reveal it all. I must say
that the title is nothing to do with anything over- the- moon magical or
suspense. But yes, it has a place ,a significant one.
This book is not one for every one. If you like writings that are descriptive, funny and wordy ,you will definitely enjoy. Having said that,you never know unless you give it a try. Who can say what you might discover. Take a peek, live dangerously!
