Someone said they thought I would love this book and lent it to me and I took one look at the cover and was like "lawl K..." but I actually LOVED it! It was funny and witty and I loved the author's style. It was also a great book to read on the T because the chapters were short and it wasn't anything dense. And in my most recent Gilmore Girls binge Rory gave PG Wodehouse a shout out so really thumbs up all around!

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix

- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

Like a lovely frothy coffee, the wit and sharp writing are so enjoyable to curl up with.

“I might, that is to say, be safe from the dragon, but what about the hippogriffs? That was the question I asked myself. What price the hippogriffs?”
Another one to add to my Jeeves and Wooster collection. Despite there being similarities between this installment and previous ones in the series, Joy in the Morning did not disappoint. While earlier stories in the series were funny because of varying turn of events - everything always tends to go wrong in the best ways - the humor in this book was mostly in the narration. The sequence of events, even when predictable, felt fresh and amusing because of Bertie's perspective. Jeeves, as always, saves the day with some quick thinking and shimmering in exactly when needed. Although some of the humor was old fashioned, I still found myself smiling throughout and laughing out loud. *sigh* Wodehouse is always such a good pick-me-up. On to the next!

Wodehouse is great. I love the language and silliness. His descriptions and verbiage is incredibly creative and fresh and enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Although somewhat lacking in ingenuity and originality, Joy in the Morning marks another hilarious entry in the Wodehouse collection.
