A review by cassiakarin
Right Ho, Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse

3.0

So silly! Frivolously so! I felt as though I were binge-watching a British comedy out of sheer fleshly indulgence by reading this book! Pure ridiculous humor. A goofy book - SO well written, marvelously so, brilliant, really. I love imagining the writing process of this book - it just sounds like fun! But - I must confess to my shame - I did not particularly care for the book much myself. I suppose I'm a sourpuss. I didn't laugh too much, and though I found it amusing and terribly clever, the ever rising woes and troubles and foibles and follies wore me out. I know I'm a scrooge. Why can't I just enjoy a book for its elaborate characters and ridiculous plot all wrapped in the beauty of old British modernity- as it were- pop-culture? I don't know. I'm more for stories with real suffering, sadness, and riveting redemption. Sorry. But I am very gratified to have put my eyes (or ears in this case) into the words of one of the greats. For P.G. Wodehouse is of course one of the great (and found among the 9 of Doug Wilson's 9 Writers to Rad!). So, I finished one, and may pick up another to enjoy with my kids by audio when they're older enough to follow a plot audibly.
