Wodehouse! You are my true love. This is one of the more tired and typical Jeeves & Wooster experiences, but that's like saying "Who's the worst Beatle."
Sometimes I think Seinfeld's plot structure was based entirely on Wodehouse.

Love the shenanigans of Bertie's friends, especially Stinker nabbing Oates' helmet. With Jeeves' usual brilliance, Bertie manages to put all right in the end with his friends. I also really like Aunt Dahlia in this story. I've watched this on TV, and Sir Stephen Fry IS Jeeves, as Hugh Laurie IS Bertie. Best of all, though, the book fills in a lot more details, so things are even more up, down, and all-around than on TV.
Great fun to read.

I picked this up because I hadn't read any Wodehouse and my sister really likes it, and I am glad I did. It was a very quick, clever read, and I expect I will check a few more volumes out of the library.

Just a bit of silliness. VERY British. I liked best the slang that I'm not used to: "bean" for head/brain, "gooseflesher" for a murder mystery book.

Very cute fast weekend read that is doable in one setting. It is defintely a period piece and of its time but the comedy is still there. I feels like I listened to a old-time radio serial. It was fun and I learned a lot of new words. I also love stepping into another time for a while and see how many things are luxuriously missed and how many things i'm so glad are gone for good!
