为了黄铜扣子的白晚宴外套，少爷叕崛起了，叕试图利用自己的“聪明才智”，给另外一些脑子好像不那么灵光的小伙伴当起了恋爱指导——“吉夫斯，退下，放着我来！”吉夫斯：“行吧，少爷。”一如既往地，少爷不知情地为了大义“献身”，皆大欢喜。吉夫斯：“少爷，衣服我烫糊了哟。真是抱歉呢，呵。”

My style of book, definitely. It drags on a bit at times, but it does so ingeniously. In other words, it does this as a good thing, I think. Part of its charm. I'm glad to know that there is a series based on these characters!

I discovered PG Wodehouse a few years ago and fell in love. I hadn't read an entire Jeeves novel until now (though some passages/short stories had me absolutely hooked). I'm so excited that I finished one, and now I want to read them all. So much fun!

This was my first Wooster/Jeeves book, and I am hooked. Now I just need to get all the rest!

I laughed outloud so many times whilst reading this book, in which poor deluded Bertie thinks he can manage other people's affair better than that most impeccable of manservants, Jeeves. It isn't a spoiler to say that of course Bertie can't, & much hilarity ensues.
In particular you should look out for Aunt Dahlia giving instructions to Bertram what he should look out for when going for a walk & an impassioned speech from the French chef, Anatole.
I'm not knocking half a ★ off for one piece of casual racism. (I'm wondering if it has been censored from other copies as none of my friends at Retro Reads have mentioned it) but because just before the peerless Jeeves there was a portion where it dragged. The resolution though was highly satisfactory & left me craving more Wodehouse!

resolved everything, including the hated dinner jacket that Bertie so unwisely bought!

"He couldn't have fallen in love with her in a couple of hours."
"Why not? I fell in love with her in a couple of minutes. I worshipped her immediately we met, the popeyed little excrescence."

I never read Wodehouse before this year, but with 2020 going the way it is, I've been plowing through these delicious light bites of escapist literature like a pile of fresh hot Krispy Kremes. They're unrealistic (Great Depression? What Great Depression?), entirely predictable, and thoroughly repetitive, but the blissful, idyllic existence of the characters is charming and the dialogue continues to make me cackle.

Jeeves saves the day again, and as always at the expense of Bertie

For me, this was so British it almost seemed like a parody. The story dragged on too long, but it paid off with a really good ending. It was a fun read and a good change of pace from my usual type of reading.
