Very Good, Jeeves!

Every page in this book holds a laugh or three. Every observation of human nature rings true. And Jeeves is a gift to human kind.

Literary masterpieces often come in the most unexpected ways: who would ever have imagined that "The Little Prince" would still be selling (and selling well) in some 30 languages? Similarly, the original publisher of "The Lord of the Rings" felt that he knew two things for certain when he accepted the manuscript. First, it was a modern masterpiece. Second, he was going to lose a bunch of money printing it. Happily, he was wrong about the second point. P. G. Wodehouse is yet another example: who could have imagined that stories about a dim-witted drone and his valet would crack that magic line and ascend into literary immortality? How did that happen? For one thing, Wodehouse was an absolute master of the English language. He could use cliche, and use it artfully, like no other writer. Second, to mention the obvious, he was terribly funny. And third, he was a master of plot and subplot, sometimes managing to bring three or four of them to a satisfactory (and hilarious) resolution within two pages. That's my try at an explanation, but Bertie and Jeeves live on in their imaginary world, and I suspect will continue doing so for a long, long time. Highest recommendation!

I discovered grammatical errors that seemed to indicate words or phrases had been omitted. I wouldn't expect these mistakes of an English author with a competent editor. Therefore I suspect flaws transcribing the original into ebook format. Does no one proofread this stuff?

Laughed so hard even my eyes watered. You can’t go wrong with Wodehouse if you need a laugh. If you are looking for a serious book and a deep message then look elsewhere.

If you are one who thoroughly enjoys the humorously detailed business of early twenty-first century gentry, you will LOVE this book! Bertram Wooster and his butler, Jeeves, are their usual “bally” selves and a good time is had by all! Enjoy!!

I shimmered over to the settee, draped my form over the cushions, and perused the above title for the fifth or sixth time. It was fully up to form. Thanks, Plum!

PG Wodehouse always makes me chuckle. You almost want to be mad at Bertram Wooster for being so shallow and superficial (not to mention not-too-bright), but you can't help but find him loveable. The characters are fun, the story is implausable, but its all in good fun. I won't give away the plot, there is no need...if you've read any Wodehouse at all, the formula is essentially the same, and always clever and enjoyable. I DO read real, sometimes "heavy" literature on a pretty regular basis, but sometimes I don't want to immerse myself in something heavy (love Game of Thrones and all that, but sometimes it's just more than I want to concentrate on). Pick up a Jeeves and Wooster book (anyone will do..you can read them in order if you want, but it's not necessary), and escape to a different time and place, where the problems are silly, and the characters broadly drawn. Is life maybe idylic? Not for Bertie, who is always getting into some type of scrape or another. But things always wrap up nicely by the end of the book, and all is well with the world. My wife always knows when I'm reading Wodehouse, because I can't help but chuckle every so often...and that's a good thing!

Tuppy, Bertie, the image of having to drop into the pool in full evening attire; Jeeves. Pure classic much-loved Wodehouse. ❤️

Brilliant read. Lots of twists and turns, written with plenty of humour

Wodehouse à son sommet.Des rires souvent du sourire toujours .Et quel écriture !(en anglais ,bien sûr!)

Un classique a découvrir ou à re découvrir excessivement bien lu! Tout à fait adapté pour des cours de compréhension. les nouvelles le composant étant assez courtes.

I like this book! Particularly Bertie's descriptions of his Aunt Agatha and his friends and what some of his friends get up to. Its hilarious in places. A good read if you need a good laugh.

A superb book classic stuff !! Truly Hilarious
