Never having read any Wodehouse, this was an excellent introduction to Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves, not to mention the various recurring friends and relations who pop up throughout. I found myself chuckling aloud several times in the course of the 34 stories in this compilation. It is best to read one story, maybe two, at a time; otherwise, they bleed into each other too much and the formula risks becoming too repetitive. But the stories are perfect when you need to lighten things up with some well-written humor, to read a little something fun before bedtime or to ease into a lazy weekend/holiday day. A really entertaining, enjoyable relief from the usual hectic pace. ( )

Well, if you like Bertie Wooster stories, you'll like this as it is nothing but. In fact, you might as well save this money by buying this compendium instead of several smaller Wooster collections. The short stories are the perfect length for in-bed-at-night-waiting-to-get-sleepy reading. I will warn you, however, that if you try to read too many stories in too short a time they will all start to run together. ( )
