Carry on, Jeeves (original 1925; edition 1999)

Top drawer Wodehouse, hilarious situations, with Jarvis brilliantly carrying off the accents of the clueless gentry. Dash it, how does he do it?! ( )

No matter how many times Bertie and his friends must be rescued from impending matrimony, or from wearing an inadvisable article of clothing, Wodehouse always manages to turn the affair into a delightful romp.

There was one minor glitch for me personally: The last story in the book was written from Jeeves' POV, and I just didn't bond with it anywhere near as well. I guess I missed hearing Bertie's voice inside my head. (Sorry Jeeves!) ( )

My blog post about this book is at this link. ( )

I had decided to try some Wodehouse after reading about his use of language in The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks. I had a short trip so I picked up this audio book from the library for entertainment.

It was definitely entertaining. I love fun language, British comedy, and silliness in general, so I found this to be an enjoyable read. Still, the stories seemed to be rather formulaic, so I don't think sitting down and reading all of the Jeeves stories straight through would be the way to go about it. I'll probably pick up a used volume and keep it about for the occasional story reading when I need a good laugh, though. ( )

I finally gave Wodehouse a try. See my reaction in my full review: http://youtu.be/CcH1CqDltjQ ( )
