Much Obliged, Jeeves: (Jeeves & Wooster)

The plot is very much the same as in most of the Jeeves stories. Bertie is always trying to avoid getting married, various females, including his aunts, are trying to get him into hopeless situations and the day is saved by Jeeves at the end of the day. You know how it's going to turn out but that does not stop you devouring the book to see how it's going to happen. Nice Everyman edition. Compulsive funny read.

This review applies to all the books which I read one after the other. They are all excellent. I have never read anything were so little can happen in such an entertaining way!The series is lovely and has pride of place on my bookshelf. I was genuinely sorry to finish them. The tales often have a simple premise. These place Bertie at the centre of a predicament, often in an effort to avoid marriage.However the convoluted methods taken to overcome the problems and the inevitable mishaps occurring keep the the pages turning. The unlikely events are held together brilliantly by the excellent breezy writing style and wonderful characters, that actually have surprising depth.Clearly you will have your favourites through the series but I heartily recommend them all.

Wodehouse is just brilliant at the off the cuff observations he gives his characters. Classic being "She is just so much above me" response "Tall girl is she?". There are few writers before or since who can frame and capture humour in the easy way Wodehouse did.

I find it is always a joy to read books written by PG Wodehouse. Amazing how he can make Bertie Wooster a character you are really fond of - in spite of the fact he is an upper-class layabout who can't even make a cup of tea for himself!

Arrived early, good as new, postage cost more than the book. Highly recommend. Vey satisfied.
