review 1: This is my second Wodehouse book, but my first foray into the world of Jeeves and Wooster, and I have to say ... I'm a bit disappointed.My first Wodehouse was Leave it to Psmith, and I'm trying to figure out why I loved that and not The Inimitable Jeeves. Perhaps it's because The...

review 1: Cracking good stuff. I snorted in my chair dozens of times, even at the stories I had read time and again. Wodehouse was one of the great masters of humor, and his every analogy and metaphor a sight to behold.This is a newly combined volume from WW Norton, putting together Joy in...

review 1: A brazil nut knocking off a topper … leads to the publication of an explosive bestseller from the least expected quarters. An author who wants to disassociate himself from it and a nephew ready to take credit with an eye on raking in the moolah: Add a conniving couple, some sunde...

review 1: Young Men in Spats - P.G. Wodehouse I say!I say!Oh, jolly good! :D As always, Wodehouse brings us wonderful British comedy. Young men in Spats comprises stories concerning guys from the Drone Club. I still enjoy Wooster & Jeeves' stories a little bit more, but they are all great,...

review 1: Tip top Wodehouse. Bertie has thrown himself into learning the banjolele much to Jeeves' dismay. A satisfying novel-length tale. I enjoyed the new butlers likely communist sympathies "at lead the could be cheerful about it while he plans my murder" or words to that effect muses ...

review 1: An early Wodehouse about a poor, helpless soul that the world insists on treating gently-- in fact, getting him out of any scrape he gets into and handing him oodles of money to boot. It's charming, if it doesn't quite survive in our darker age. Nowadays the young feller would ...

review 1: My Kindle edition had a different set of stories in it than is reported here, some with Jeeves and some without. I enjoy PG Wodehouse, but sometimes I wish the main characters (generally well to do, but idle, fellows) would speak more plainly and with fewer roundabout figures of ...

review 1: It's nice to know that a Wodehouse book need not contain a Bertie, a Baxter, an Emsworth, or a perfunctory P to be uproarious. This happens to include a woman named Bill, a former queen of the silent screen, and Phipps, who I have on good authority is not the world's only safe-cr...
