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.

Delight after delight. No page without pure mirth and gleaming language.
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!
An enjoyable continuation of the Jeeves and Wooster saga.
Genuinely funny with a witty, sarcastic style of humor.
A repeat read -- Wodehouse never fails to provide soothing entertainment.
I hadn’t read any Jeeves and Wooster apart from a Christmas short story and had read/heard this was one of the best. There is some questionable language and sensibilities that are unfortunately common with books of this age and setting, but I did enjoy how the chaos and shenanigans ramped up through the book. A perfect introduction to the the duo I think.
PG Wodehouse is a master, plain and simple. Reading through Code of the Woosters showed me the table at which Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams learned their humor, and it was fantastic. I highly suggest this to fans of funny things.
