Probably the best book Wodehouse ever wrote
By A Customer
The first thing that has to be mentioned about Summer Moonshine is the hero - Joe Vanringham. I think he is the best hero that Wodehouse ever created - tough; street-smart; not at all the usual 'silly ass' and yet not overly romantic or anything like that. (In fact, if you read Bachelors Anonymous you'll realise that Wodehouse's Joes generally tend to be very good!) The plot is extremely complicated as Wodehousian plots tend to be, but even more so than usual. One finds oneself flipping back to check up on what happened where. And then, on finally figuring it out, laughing like a lunatic. It's a charming book, as economical with space and as funny as one has come to expect Wodehouse to be. Sir Buckstone Abbot is one of the best characters Wodehouse has ever come up with - ditto to Sam Bulpitt, and one wonders why they couldn't become recurring characters. But Joe is the best ever! All hail Joe Vanringham! (Forgive my babbling; this is my favorite book ever, as it's not that difficult to figure out.)

A Different Wodehouse Book
By A Customer
Someday I'd like to read a real biography of Wodehouse (as opposed to the dreadful "fan" bios out there) and find out what was happening to him around 1936 -- when he wrote the scathing, angry "Laughing Gas" and this one. "Summer Moonshine" uses Wodehouse plot A: boy-chases-girl-at-country-house. Yet strange feelings of hopelessness and despair creep into it, and when boy loses girl there's a bitterness like in no other Wodehouse novel. It's not bad, but you definitely get the sense that, as the author himself might put it, something's up.

Wodehouse with a Bite
By Mr. Orlando R. Barone
There are passages in this 1937 classic that make you flip to the cover to make sure it's PG Wodehouse you are reading. A bitter bite occasionally stings you like a famished mosquito attacking from nowhere. Protagonist Joe Vanringham embarks on a 20 page conversation with Jane, the woman he decides to marry seven or eight seconds after their first meeting, and what a witty, hilarious conversation it is. Until, reviewing Joe's biography, Jane asks, "why did you leave home?" When she presses, Joe says, "suppose we talk about something else," and something dark eclipses the dialogue. Wodehouse knows what's going on; he has Jane musing about Joe changing "the game," starting as a "cheerful idiot" (a bitter characterization in itself) and shifting to a cold, "Madam, you strangely forget yourself." Unwodehousian, to be sure. It's only the begining. Joe's lengthy excoriation of his step-mother, Princess Dwornitzchek, whom he blithely accuses of killing his father while "making a fool of herself with boys half her age," is perhaps Woodhouse's most scathing passage in all his fiction.
This intrusion of bitterness and the kind of hatred only family members can work up is in sharp contrast to the antic buffoonery afoot everywhere else in the book. Wodehouse seems determined to stay at the extremes: utter farce sprinkled with seething rage.
The result is Wodehouse in top satirical form, a plot to amaze, characters to remember, with a final resolution a bit too ordinary for the tour de force that went before.
Don't mistake me. The comic elements work beautifully; this is a funny novel. The characters are limned with deftness and just enough subtlety to drive the story and the humor. The best of these is Joe, a flawed hero who somehow maintains his unconquerability in the face of personal rejection, career destruction and financial ruin.
Jane is dynamite; very much up to the job of being a match for Joe, though her devotion to foppish golddigger Adrian Peake is no more comprehensible to us than to Joe.
The supporting cast is surprisingly strong. Sir Buck, the broke baronet trying to unload the ugliest castle in the kingdom so as to regain solvency, is chucklingly imbalanced; his former dancehall girl wife, Lady Abbot, is as sweet, loving, and imperturbable as the vile Princess is mercurial and vicious. Joe's brother Tubby plays Curly to Joe's Moe and does it well.
Miss Whittaker, assistant to Sir Buck, is a terrific player, sharp, temperamental, guileless, and oh, so strong, "quate" the person to stand in the eye of all the storms that swirl about this swirling plot. She steals every scene she graces and gives the evil Princess her ultimate comeuppance.
Of course, there is nemesis turned savior, American plasterer (don't ask), Sam Bullpit. He is a bit too creepy to be hilarious, but he does what he came for. And, if Wodehouse had to strike one truly sour note with a bit of racist mumbling, 'twere best that the words were placed in this man's mouth.
All in all, this is a book that belongs near the top of "The Best of PG etc., etc."
