(i think i gave up trying to read them in order. but nevermind.)
holy shit. this has to be my favourite j&w so far.
'There are moments, Jeeves, when one asks oneself, 'Do trousers matter?
'The mood will pass, sir.'
this was sort of like reading a mystery novel, except that there are no murders, just missing cow-creamers and policemen's helmets being thrown out of windows.
10/10 would eat with rice

Some rather amazing lines in this one. Brilliantly funny. The madcap-ness is overall very good. The only marring/jarring thing is the sheer amount of Wooster's pronouncements about women. On the other hand, all of the women in the story get what they want; on the other hand, all of the women in the story get what they want.

This was a lot of fun. Wodehouse's writing is terrifically clever and funny. The plot was tight, with everything weaving together and tied off into a satisfactory knot in the final pages. I shall be buying myself another as soon as I can.
This was highly recommended and also my first PG Wodehouse. Overall rating is “fair” but don’t be in a bind if you don’t get to read it.
Onwards and upwards.

Smashing good fun.
Nothing like a quick romp with the Wooster to take one's mind off of the miseries of the Napoleonic War, eh wot?
I regret the many years of my life I wasted not reading these

Ah. I am in love with Bertie Wooster. I can see why girls fling themselves at him. He's so... he's so... I want to squish him. I want to shower him with little kissy pecks and laugh at his slangy jokes and then go shopping for fabulous dresses with his money because he is so fucking loaded. And then when we meet up again after everything we'll get drunk together. I'm going to force myself to read all of them before watching the series with Fry and Laurie. Oh, god... what if i get a crush on Hugh Laurie? I can see it happening.
I wanted to find this book hilarious. Unfortunately, the most I can call it is amusing. Maybe I wasn't in the right mood for it, and thus just felt like getting through it rather than savoring it. But still, I didn't want to savor it. I found Bertie kind of annoying, and thus, didn't really care if he went to jail or not. It is a clever story, and the writing is smart and witty. I think overall, it's just not my cup of tea.
