3.0
This is #15 of the Jeeves and Wooster series and was selected for my real life book club's book for discussion at our June meeting. We have been working around a theme of the number 15 to tie in with our 15th anniversary (method to the madness!) and the challenge here was to read the 15th book without having read thr preceding 14 to see if it meant the series must be up to snuff!
While Aunts Aren't Gentlemen was gently amusing, it wasn't side splitting comedy and felt like a rather desperate farce at times, with the plot revolving around a cat, a highly strung race horse and our hero finding himself engaged to young ladies he didn't like. Not good enough to make me want to read any of the others, although one positive is that it was quite short...
