Very funny, if predictable. High jinks and harmless japes involving clearly defined characters with clearly defined motives. Formulaic like The Hardy Boys, but for grown-ups. And definitely very funny, in case I didn't already say that.

As I've come from expect from P.G. Wodehouse, this was hilarious. Farcical, witty, written in a style uniquely his.
In this particular escapade, Bertie finds himself staying at Totleigh Towers, the country home of Sir Watkyn Bassett, an obsequious magistrate with a vicious vendetta against poor old Bertram. Along the way we encounter wronged policemen, a LOT of blackmail, cow-creamers, notebooks and, of course, an array of beloved characters like Gussie Fink-Nottle, Aunt Dahlia, Roderick Spode and Stiffy Byng.
Wodehouse keeps you hooked until the very end. I also loved the ending - it was really well resolved, with Bertie sleeping peacefully in his bed, believing everything is well with the world (that is, until the next time!)
I will never stop recommending this series, because when it comes to comedic literature, this is the best.

such a fun read filled with so many whitty moments and whimsical plot devices. i had so much trouble putting it down because i was always wondering what possibly could happen next to old bertie wooster. it ends on such a joyful and pleasant note, too, which makes it the perfect form of escapism. this is the first jeeves and wooster book i've read and i'm super excited to start from the beginning some time (but this is genuinely a great place to start). there were several pages i had to bookmark and recount to my partner later over just how funny they were. overall really enjoyed it!
