Enjoyed the first couple of stories but realised after a while it just wasn’t the book for me. Not my type of humour and started to bore me.

Delightful. Short. Witty. Amusing. Maybe a touch repetitive, but I quite liked it.

The book is comprised of short anecdotes, most of which involve a scheme, and Jeeves masterminding it all. Almost everyone involved is not very bright, which just makes Jeeve's calm and decorative brilliance that much more impressive. It makes you wonder why Jeeves would like to stay with his employer, rather than making more money whilst doing less work.

Fun stories. I’ve always wondered about Jeeves and now I know. Short stories that are entertaining.
