A chance meeting on a train brought together Lord Ickenham and Bill Oakshott - although being told that the love of his life, Hermione, was engaged to none other than Pongo, Lord Ickenham's nephew, did make Bill feel like he'd been struck behind the ear.

A wonderful tale, performed by my favorite interpreter of Wodehouse. Well worth the time and money.

Fabulous

PG Wodehouse was ahead of his time. This book like a few others would make excellent movies if done just so. His over the top fun with Uncle Fred is hilarious.

Excellent story and Jonathan Cecil is superb.

This is as clever a Wodehouse book as I've ever read. While being partial to Wooster and Jeeves I have to say that Uncle Fred gives them a run for their money. I also didn't think you could do better than Frederick Davidson in reading Wodehouse but I have to admit that Jonathan Cecil is every bit as good.

Wodehouse never disappoints

Jonathan Cecil is one of my most favorite Wodehouse narrators! love it! I'd listen to these three Uncle Fred books in order, but they're just great fun. Great for when you just want something light and fun!

Good old Wodehouse Fun!

How do you keep separate in memory the many Wodehouse impostor books? As with Gilligan’s Island episodes, variations in plot are insufficient to differentiate. We have the non-unique situation where Pongo is mis-engaged to the MaryAnn (to push the analogy a bit) character who is better suited to Bill Oakshott. But we don’t have the engagement-switch trope set up by contrived jealousy. In its stead is the need to switch busts. The other motivation is desire to avoid judging a Bonny-Baby contest. Primarily Lord Ickenham (Uncle Fred) has an unbounded need to embed himself as an impostor.

We have Bill and Pongo as paired childhood friends and have Uncle Fred paired with a schoolboy rival and Sally vs Hermione as love interests. We have the local bobby churning the plot forward with combined buffoonery and eagerness. We’re at Ashenden Manor rather than Blandings. Aunts and desperate impoverishment are fortunately not major motivators this time out.
Uncle Fred’s inventiveness, and specifically his dialogue, are the highlights of this book. Otherwise, this 1948 mid-season episode will seem friendly and familiar but not uniquely inspired.

Slimm-o for Hypertrophy of the Trouser Seat

Has anyone else thought that Jo Rowling was inspired for her Harry Potter series by Uncle Dynamite?

Characters named: Hermione...Herold Potter...Reginald (sounds so close to Ronald) Reading tea leaves----Owls----an irascible uncle and a horse-faced aunt. Fred the trickster. I could go on and on. Marauders. Billius. Okay. I'll stop now ---- but seriously!

I am positive with the muffins bit and the heavy use of Gorgon ---- that Wodehouse was much inspired by Wilde as well.

And let me be clear ---- I love Sir Pelham's books! He is My favorite humorist of all-time.

Hermione...Herold Potter...Hmmm.

What a pleasure it is to listen to Jonathan Cecil bring a P.G. Wodehouse book to life with its hilarious antics of the British upper class. It's a great way to enjoy a cup of tea and escape into another bygone world.

Can't Beat a Wodehouse

What made the experience of listening to Uncle Dynamite the most enjoyable?

Without question, Jonathan Cecil's reading is what makes listening to this story great. It's a fun story (though not quite as great as the Uncle Fred story Cocktail Time), with all of the loopiness and goofiness we expect of a classic Wodehouse story. And Jonathan Cecil's reading makes it shine.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Uncle Dynamite?

Without revealing one of the amusing plot twists...at the end of the story, I was delighted as Uncle Fred put Sir Aylmer Bostock in his place.

Which character – as performed by Jonathan Cecil – was your favorite?

Jonathan Cecil is one of those rare readers who goes beyond being a good reader and becomes the embodiment of the author's work. Jonathan Cecil's reading of all the characters is excellent, but his portrayal of Uncle Fred is just perfect.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Uncle Dynamite makes me smile, laugh, and guffaw in many places. Uncle Fred is just a treasure as he goes about "spreading sweetness and light", cajoling, threatening, and blackmailing people all in the name of increasing happiness for everyone around him.

More fun with Uncle Fred

This is a wonderful Wodehouse installment. Funny in many places, the story is classic tongue in cheek drama. Love the story within a story when the narrator speaks to the listener. Good use of humor, asides, hooks make the story more engaging than a straight telling would have been. The performance adds immeasurably to the enjoyment of the story and punctuates the humor well.

Recommended.
