If were honest, Wodehouses school stories arent even good examples of the genre.

A simple, straight, sweet book. I would have thrown it away in the empty fields beyond my bedroom balcony if Wodehouse had written anything else. I read P.G. Wodehouse mostly for his way with words. His light sense of humour helps, and the happy endings always cheer me up.The book is about the horrors and helplessness of a typical geek in a setting which demands physical prowess. Sheen, the geek, fails miserably short of expectations. He then ends up being the disgrace of the house, the black

Those who know their Wodehouse well know that he did not spring his light fully-formed on the world, but rather rose slowly like an elderly aunt at daybreak. This, then, is Wodehouse at the cock-crow - a pre-Jeevesian jaunt into the world of public school life.

Interesting how even a very minor early PG Wodehouse is better structured and with more engaging characters than that wretched Edward Docx novel I just struggled through. An interesting exercise in how Wodehouse is essentially about what you leave out.

Having read a certain amount of Wodehouse, I was expecting something light and frivolous. Since this is one of his earliest books, my expectations were not high. Hence, the four stars. Although this book has his trademark colloquialisms of the day, the subject matter has more depth than I was expecting. The subject is cowardice versus panic, what one is used to versus being taken by surprise and how one reacts. The dynamics of public school and peer pressure are also explored. Sheen is a quiet,
