P.G. Wodehouse

Life With Jeeves

Melody Izard

It’s the same thing over and over again. The slightly goofy, most certainly of only average or below intelligence, but unquestionably well mannered – or at least brought up to be well-mannered – Bertram Wooster – wishes to dress garishly or has a friend who gets into a bit of a spot – or decides to tackle a problem on his on – and he gets deeper into the briny swell while wearing purple socks or a cummerbund. And then Jeeves, the brilliant, composed, well-dressed, unshakable valet comes to the rescue, solves the problem, saves the day and burns the cummerbund or gives away the socks. But every dad gum time I roared with laughter. I had to learn the hard way there would be no drinking of any sort of liquid while reading Life with Jeeves or there would be spew. 

This is actually 3 books in one. I'd give the first two books The Inimitable Jeeves and 
  Very Good Jeeves
 4 stars and the last one Right Ho, Jeeves a 3 star rating. And after writing this down I realize that I probably should rate the whole package a 4 stars - but somehow I just can't. It is very delightful and I intend to read every Wodehouse I can find and maybe that's the endorsement you need. But I am very selective with my stars.
