Light, Fun Reading,

This review is from: The Man with Two Left Feet And Other Stories (Kindle Edition)
Man with two left feet is a delightful book. People have been raving about Wodehouse for a long time and I have enjoyed watching Jeeves and Wooster but this is my first venture beyond Jeeves.It is very easy reading BUT cleverly written. This book is a compilation of fourteen short, amusing and sometime poignant stories. Wodehouse is not deep so it was a great choice for a recent trip for on board reading. My favorite in this book was actually not The Man with Two Left Feet but rather At Geisenheimer's. The drawback to this Kindle version is that while you can see the Table of Contents, you are not able to maneuver through the contents so that you really are left to read the short stories in order without skipping around. Thus the four star instead of five star review for this particular version.

Classic Humor,
This review is from: The Man with Two Left Feet And Other Stories (Kindle Edition)
This is a very unusual collection for Wodehouse. The stories in "The Man With Two Left Feet" are very unlike his usual style. Most take place in New York, one is told from the first person perspective of a woman, and one is even told from the point of view of a dog. However, every one has the classic humor and expectadly unexpected happy ending that Wodehouse is known for, and each was a delightful read. As usual, Wodehouse kept me smiling throughout ~ even with only a brief visit from our old friend Bertie.

Not Profound, but Fun and Relaxing,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Man with Two Left Feet And Other Stories (Kindle Edition)
This collection of short stories is entertaining, an easy read, and charming with its time-period, old-fashioned language and writing style. My favorite story was At Geisenheimer's. It was predictable, but charming, and I read it twice! I was frustrated with the inability to easily move around between stories. (The table of contents was not linked.) The format was poor, with the stories kind of running right after each other without a terribly clear delineation between chapters. Once I got the hang of it, it was okay, but not ideal. Since this was the first book I read on Kindle, I was somewhat confused for some time trying to learn to navigate.
