I think I am probably the world’s biggest fan of P.G. Wodehouse and his Jeeves books to an unhealthy extent. My opinion of Jeeves has certainly changed for the better, although it some cases I still find him annoyingly annoying. Bertie Wooster is a “good egg”, as he might call himself, Bingo Little a little frustrating at times, and Eustace and Claude, well, there isn’t really much to say about Eustace and Claude, is there.
Wooster has got himself “into the soup” again (repeatedly, in fact, throughout the whole book), but Jeeves has obtained a certain detachment from Wooster owing to the fact that the latter had bought himself some ugly shoe spats, and was only on mild speaking terms. “Yes, sir,” and “No, sir,” and “How very troubling, sir,” were the only words Bertie could get out of him.
This book is hilarious and exceptionally well-written. Although perhaps not my favourite of the three books in the omnibus, it was still amazing nonetheless.
