Another fantastic book by Wodehouse. His mastery of the English language makes one laugh out loud. Jeeves is fabulous as always.

I can't describe to you the soul-warming contentment I'm feeling right now, so suffice to say that I enjoyed it very, very much, as with all of the Jeeves books I've read thus far. I recommend these a lot (which probably goes without saying, but oh, well).

Still fun! Felt like the plot threads weren’t woven as tightly as its precedents, but still funny.
Four for four false engagements!

In these rough and tumble days don't you sometimes just want to sit down and have a healthy helping of P.G. Woodhouse? That was me this weekend and I turned to Jeeves in the Morning for my fix. Loved it, loved it, loved it. I often realize that I'm about as obtuse as Bertie Wooster and I know that I need a Jeeves. Then, I also realize, that I have many people around me who, each in a small way, smooth my path as efficiently as Jeeves does for Bertie and those around him. Thanks to all of you who act as a Jeeves to me. You know who you are and so do I. I would say that you are the wing beneath my wings, but then I would launch into song, and nobody needs that to disturb the night air. It doesn't matter how many times I turn to P.G. Woodhouse, he never fails to entertain. Seek him out in times of troubles, oops, there is that urge to break into song again.

Jeeves bends the universe around his desire to go fishing. He does go fishing, then cleans up the mess so that all the right people marry each other.
