This is definitely the best comedy I have read in English. The only other author that I know that might rival Wodehouse's wit is Jorge Ibargüengoitia. I am really pleased that I read this book, and for that I thank Michael Torpey very much indeed.
Of course, I also thought of The Man in the Brown Suit, and I am convinced that Agatha Christie wanted, primarily, to write a comedy. But Leave It to Psmith is on a different level. It is clear that Wodehouse had elegantly designed each character and each situation and the way in which they would fit into them. All around an extremely simple story, never losing sight of the goal of entertaining the reader.
And I love this type of humour. I have decided that the British people are my favourite people in the whole world. I highly recommend this book. It is a very fine read.
