The World of Jeeves by PG Wodehouse

This is not a book I would have EVER read on my own ;) Crystal, a friend of mine, gave it to me. I will say that it took me FOREVER to get through this book. It’s trade size. It’s like 650 pages and it’s small type.

It starts out really funny. You have this bungling guy named Bertram who is… well, he’s an idiot. And his gentleman’s personal gentleman (errr… valet… errr.. whatever) gets him out of all these of these scrapes – and his friend’s scrapes.

The problem is that it gets really repetitive in the middle. It starts to feel like the same book over and over and over.

BUT it gets better at the last 150 pages again. Funny book though! Worth a read. I guess this is a book based on other books by this guy… check it out!

A glorious collection of all the short stories featuring Jeeves, the perfect manservant, and Bernie Wooster, a 1920s bachelor on the run.

    Jeeves and Bertie are indeed extremely funny, but I can only take them in small doses … I have a copy of this book, and I like to read a little bit each week, which just makes me smile
