I really enjoyed this book! This is my first time reading Wodehouse and I was surprised how much I enjoyed his humor and wit, as well as the quirky characters and situations they got into. I read this for my family book club and would be interested in checking out more books in the Jeeves series.

Not my favourite, especially as it felt similar to Code of The Woosters which I loved.

Great as always. I found the plot a bit over-complex and tiresome with this one (aren't they all a bit?), but the language makes up for anything

so fun.. went on a jeeves & wooster (show) kick a few years ago but not sure I had ever actually read one?? so when this popped up at a library book sale it seemed like a good time to give it a try. kind of lost momentum for me in the second half but there were a few scenes that did make me legitimately laugh out loud while reading (

the series of mishaps in the garden culminating with clam getting locked in the shed killed me

). they are just so goofy. will be keeping an eye out for more!

I love to read PG Wodehouse 2 or 3 times a year - it really cheers me up. His secret lies in the characters and above all the dialogue. All the plots are farcical, in the most proper of ways of course, and are set up to let us wallow in the antics and conversations between the protagonists from a bygone and gilded era.
What's not to like!
