I had missed reading this when I avidly read almost all of Wodehouse’s books. A very nice “Jees Only” Story with the same degree of hilarious complications.

Not as funny as some of his other works though.

Martin Jarvis’s variation of of voices wa very good

Good narration. But as far as the book goes, Ok, but not the greatest Maclean book

I had read this a long time ago. It was a different experience to listen to it.

The narration was very good.

As compared to other Maclean books, this one has too fantastical a story and too much of a superhuman as the protagonist. Atypical of Maclean’s heroes, Bruno does not get beaten up, doesn’t go through any tragedy, does not fail. Even his tragedy in the past is underplayed.

The story could have been tighter,
Like Breakhart Pass or Night Without End. There wasn’t enough drama, emotion, or heartbreak as compared to other books.
