Our lord and savior Jeeves comes to save the day - something every other character in this book thought at least once
So...I'm following a 100 books you should read before you die list, and this one was there. It wasn't until I got the book that I realized it was part of a series. Although it can be read as a stand-alone, it definitely would have been easier to enjoy if I had been up to date with the inside jokes.
That said, it is funny and light-hearted enough for me to enjoy it even without some context, so I give it points for that.
(also Jeeves and Bertie??) (I just know you can find some interesting things on ao3 for those two)

Wodehouse is one of the only authors that makes me laugh out loud! Great stuff, what!

After reading three 'Bertie Wooster' novels, l couldn't help but wonder : was there any marriage in Britain in the 1930s that Bertie and Jeeves weren't involved in?
The theme is the same in all the books in this series, but the humor is great. It reminds me of 'The Ideal Husband' of Oscar Wilde.
I tremendously enjoyed the first book, but after the third, I'm starting to get a bit weary.
Still, it beats many other books any day

If you haven't read a Jeeves and Wooster book, you should do yourself the pleasure of reading this book.

I read a lot of P.G. Wodehouse this year and they were all great, but this was the funniest. I love his Bertie + Jeeves books the most. The plot is convoluted (involving the theft of an antique cow-creamer, romantic entanglements, and a fascist dictator), but at the story's core is the relationship between Bertie and Jeeves. There are signature themes of absurd social happenstances, friendship, and loyalty. So well-written and so funny!
