Damsel In Distress by PG Wodehouse (A Dusty Old Books Review)


Damsel In Distress is a story of confused love in an aristocratic household in England. PG Wodehouse's witty, sarcastic and snarky style is what truly makes this book. The plotline is predictable, but enjoyable, and the characters are somewhat flat, although Wodehouse does a good job of giving them vivacity and life. Make sure to read the book with a dictionary near at hand, because Wodehouse throws out interesting and unknown words like they're going out of fashion. Half the fun is his sideways style of saying things. If you enjoy a good roast of snobby, rich people and a story in which true love wins over bloodlines, this is the story for you.
