4.0 out of 5 stars Psmith in Another City - Rupert Comes to NYC, January 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Psmith Journalist (Mass Market Paperback)

"Psmith Journalist" is the third Psmith novel and finds the hero cavorting in the New York City of 1914, as he unilaterally takes over a weekly newpaper, runs afoul of politicians and gangsters, and consorts with other gangsters to arrange for his protection. This sounds rather grim but actually Psmith continues to delight us with his humorous language and indomitable aplomb. As with the other early novels the final plot resolution is rather weak but not without being preceded by a hundred-odd pages of hilarious dialog and action. Moreover, the book provides a fascinating glimpse into the New York of a distant year, with which the author was intimately familiar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Psmith is the best!, July 5, 2009

By 

Christine Richardson (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Psmith, Journalist (Collector's Wodehouse) (Hardcover)

I love Psmith, in all his forms - there are four novels with Psmith and this is one of the best - but they are all great. He is one of the best characters created by Wodehouse.

Now, I wanted to recommend two books here for you, one more Psmith book that is great:

Leave It To Psmith: A British Humor Classic

And this one - a book by Wodehouse about Wodehouse - and its interesting because he was a journalist and knows about newspapers, its very funny and entertaining too.

Not George Washington: A British Humor Classic

Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Psmith, Action Hero!, September 28, 2005

(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Psmith, Journalist (Paperback)

Readers of Psmith's previous adventures (Mike and Psmith, Psmith in the City) will appreciate Psmith's adventures in darkest New York. Wodehouse limbers up his dese, dems, and doses as he introduces us to "Bat" Jarvis and his gang of lowlifes, with whom Psmith interacts in an amusing manner-- even, at times, becoming strenuous in his defense of justice and his own corpus! Psmith bonking miscreants over the head with a stick? Yes! Psmith disarming pistol-wielding evil-doers? Yes! And along the way, much of the artful and absurdly witty banter that Psmith and Wodehouse specialize in is served up in heaping dollops. Enjoy!
