Hilarious! Laugh out loud and the narrator Jonathan Cecil is amazing. Can't wait to read more Wooster highjinks and see how Jeeves gets him out of the next problem.

Another excellent audio book as part of The Jeeves Collection by P.G. Wodehouse, narrated by the wonderful Stephen Fry.

A true comic relief. This was my first exposure to Wodehouse. Thanks Literary Life Podcast for introducing me. This story combines ingenious plot with hilarious pithy dialogue. The relationship between Bertie and his man Jeeves immediately reminded me of Lord Peter Wimsey and his man Bunter. The perfect dynamic duo. I will definitely be reading more Wodehouse and recommend him to anyone looking for a light-hearted, clean, funny, well-structured story.

This book reminded me why I love the English of the 20s and the 30s. The language is just amazing. The story is funny without going overboard. I fell in love, and intend to read through as much Woodhouse as I can get my hands on.
I originally wanted to read this because [a:Christopher Hitchens|3956|Christopher Hitchens|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1334621246p2/3956.jpg] said that this was his favourite Wodehouse story. I liked Hitch, and thought that if he found this brilliant and funny, it must be so. He was right.
I recommend this to everyone who likes good English humour.
