The Thumbnail Book Reviews
by John Q McDonald --- 5 March 1998
by P. G. Wodehouse
This book is an entertaining, if unlikely, romp through Hollywood during the depression. The Earl of Havershot, in a bizarre collision in the fourth dimension after inhaling a dentist's laughing gas, exchanges his identity with that of a child star. The life of the boy is rife with hazards and chaotic publicity stunts. Havershot also has two love interests, the breathy and ambitious actress April June, and her sincere and ambitious press agent. The story is funny and light, like a BBC comedy. I enjoyed it most for Wodehouse's impossibly witty language and repartee.
