I love the Jeeves stories so much oh my god. So funny!!! Bertie’s such a sweet hapless lazy piece of work, and Jeeves is a secret mega-bitch — the perfect recipe for a perfect pair!

It's wonderful to have all the Jeeves stories in one place. This'll be a wonderful, late night, bedside reader for years to come. Just plain fun!

Oh, there are some stories here that did not age well but as a whole, I was still able to enjoy Wooster's antics and Jeeves' genius. While these are incredibly formulaic, the way each little incident resolves is always funny and unique, which makes it easy to keep going back for more.
