It's dangerous to use the word genius to describe a writer, but I'll risk it with him

For as long as I'm immersed in a P.G. Wodehouse book, it's possible to keep the real world at bay and live in a far, far nicer, funnier one where happy endings are the order of the day

Wodehouse always lifts your spirits, no matter how high they happen to be already

The incomparable and timeless genius - perfect for readers of all ages, shapes and sizes!

Not only the funniest English novelist who ever wrote but one of our finest stylists

P.G. Wodehouse remains the greatest chronicler of a certain kind of Englishness, that no one else has ever captured quite so sharply, or with quite as much wit and affection

A genius ... Elusive, delicate but lasting

Witty and effortlessly fluid. His books are laugh-out-loud funny

The Wodehouse wit should be registered at Police HQ as a chemical weapon

The funniest writer ever to put words to paper

The greatest comic writer ever

P.G. Wodehouse wrote the best English comic novels of the century

Sublime comic genius

You don't analyse such sunlit perfection, you just bask in its warmth and splendour

Sadie Jones pulls no punches in her description of the savagely unsophisticated island war. An exceptional book that shudders with the weight of human responsibility

With her second novel, Sadie Jones...confirms her brilliance

A timely read for the end of 2009

A novel that resonates with contemporary parallels

Sadie Jones again pulls no punches in this strong story.

Intelligent and moving novel

This impassioned tale is a gripping read

Jones is fabulous...offering titbits of danger and discord, yet keeping a cool matter-of-fact tone for the big horrors

Her second novel is a must-read; a devastating, brilliant account of what happens when everything a man believes in...begins to crumble

Full of danger and discord
