This is only my third IF game/book but it is easily my favourite. It's very accessible to those of us without the experience of of IF conventions and expectations.
The puzzles are great and easily solved with help from the extension (and hilarious) hint system. It took me a bit longer than most but I didn't mind wandering around being an idiot, as everything had a purpose in the end.
The characters are amusing and easily recognizable if you've ever read Wodehouse, though they are more whimsical, though just as expertly written.
It will definitely make you laugh. And I don't think you'll be able to stop playing before you get to the end...
