The humor in this book is simply outstanding. Wodehouse has a unique talent for creating situations that are both absurd and hilarious.

This book is a must-read for fans of the Jeeves series and anyone who enjoys a good comedy.

It will transport you to a world of lighthearted entertainment and leave you feeling thoroughly entertained.

So, if you're looking for a book that will make you laugh out loud, look no further than the 13th book in the Jeeves series by P.G. Wodehouse.

Bertie Wooster is visited at his club by his old friend Stinker Pinker.

Stinker, it would seem, is worried that his amour, Stiffy, is going off him. So, he asks Bertie, who wouldn't seem like anyone's first choice to dabble in relationship counselling, to help.

At first, Bertie refuses. Given that Stiffy is staying at her uncle's house at Totleigh Towers, where Bertie is persona non grata following a misunderstanding with a stolen object d'art.

However, circumstances conspire to find Bertie at the Towers. And soon things start to go in such a direction that only Jeeves can fix.

This is the first P.G. Wodehouse I have read. I picked it up with the intention of just reading a few pages to get a feel for the novel.

I soon found myself chuckling away to Bertie's narrative. The idiosyncrasies of his relationship with Jeeves are a joy to read.

Behind the steely, subdued exterior of Jeeves there lurks a sharp brain and an even sharper tongue. His job is less man-servant, more babysitter in some respects.

He is there to ensure Bertie doesn't dig himself into too deep a hole and does an admirable job of hiding his master's ineptness from the man himself.

This time, Bertie is endeavouring to help an old friend save his engagement. What Bertie doesn't foresee is that he will be accused of being a thief, again, and have to dodge a betrothal of his own, not to mention a dog who attacks first and asks questions later.

There are a rag-tag assortment of characters, all wonderfully villanous, inept, conniving and madcap in turn. There are also some wonderful turns of phrase and word play that make the reader laugh out loud.

It's apparent that Wodehouse had fun when he wrote these novels. It's farcical, frenetic at some point and highly entertaining. I'll be turning to Jeeves and Wooster again when I need to escape the real world for a while.

Another truly fabulous book emerges from the wonderful pen of the peerless P.G. Wodehouse.

Our hero, Bertie Wooster, decides to assist his chum 'Stinker' Pinker. However, to achieve this, he must make a return visit to Totleigh Towers, the home of his nemesis, Sir Watkyn Bassett - a magistrate who once fined him £5, his daughter Madeline, and an ex-would-be dictator, Roderick Spode.

Alongside the rest of the usual cast of characters, Wooster stumbles through a wide variety of misfortunes and misunderstandings. These involve, not least of all, a small dog, an elderly explorer, and an amber statuette that seems to vanish at frequent intervals.

Wodehouse is a masterful writer. Although the plots of his books can justifiably be regarded as rather thin, the characters he creates, along with their peculiarities and japes, make for an extremely entertaining and escapist read. It's a world that readers can easily lose themselves in, filled with humor, charm, and the delightful antics of Bertie and his friends.

I will use this "review" for all the P. G. Wodehouse works I have read. I read them all a long time ago and derived great pleasure from them, which is why I gave them all 5 stars initially. As I embark on the process of re-reading, I will make adjustments to the star ratings if necessary and add a more detailed and proper review.

When I first came across P. G. Wodehouse, during the eighties and early nineties, I voraciously consumed every book of his that I could find in the local library. Sadly, this implies that I have read the majority of them, and it has become a rather uncommon occurrence to stumble upon one that I haven't read yet. However, I'm confident that through this wonderful site, I will happily discover at least a few unread gems and be able to track them down.

My records only commenced in 1982, so I don't have a note of any books I read prior to that time. Nevertheless, I'm certain that I will relish the experience of re-reading those earlier works.

This was the only Wodehouse I could find at the second hand bookshop.

Though I assumed the Jeeves series was the sort you could drop in on at any time, there were a bit too many wacky characters and callbacks to previous events for me to really get a hold of the story or care in any way about what would happen.

While I'm sure Wooster in the hands of a capable actor would be charming and funny, to me he was supremely annoying and lacking in wit.

I was eager to see the back of this. Wodehouse has definitely been a corrosive influence on British humour in general, as so much of it until recently leaned towards 'using a thesaurus' to indicate sophisticated humour.

Maybe I'd enjoy Wodehouse better if I went back to an earlier book, as I enjoyed Jeeves whenever he appeared. But I'm afraid it's likely I've gotten enough of a taste of his prose to be turned off forever.

It seems that my experience with this particular Wodehouse book was not a positive one. The convoluted plot and the over-the-top characters made it difficult for me to engage with the story.

And Wooster's lack of wit only added to my dissatisfaction. I can't help but wonder if I would have had a different opinion if I had started with an earlier book in the series.

However, based on my current experience, I'm not sure if I'm willing to give Wodehouse another chance.

His style of humour, which seems to rely too much on using big words and convoluted language, just doesn't appeal to me.

Maybe I'm just not the right audience for Wodehouse, but I can't help but feel that his influence on British humour has not been entirely positive.

Every book of P.G. Wodehouse is truly a precious gem within any book collection. It is only a person who completely lacks a sense of humour or the intelligence to understand any form of humour that would write a negative review against P.G. Wodehouse's professional work.

"Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves", yet another classic from Wodehouse, brings Bertie Wooster back to the dreaded Totleigh Towers. The sole purpose of his visit is to salvage Madeline and Gussie's would-be marriage, which is teetering on the verge of collapsing. For if the marriage is called off, Bertie would be the unfortunate soul who would have to marry Madeline, a fate he fears more than his worst nightmare.

So, Wooster makes his way up to Totleigh Towers and endeavors by all possible means to reunite the two lovebirds. And as he pursues his noble actions, there are countless misconceptions and complications that arise, ultimately giving birth to this classic story: "Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves".

As I vividly recall Jeeves putting it on one occasion,

he said that the mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small, or something to that approximate effect.

This profound statement always lingers in my mind,

making me reflect on the idea that although the wheels of fate may turn at a sluggish pace,

the consequences and outcomes it produces are often minutely detailed and far-reaching.

It implies that no matter how long it takes,

ultimately, everything will be accounted for and the results will be precise and significant.

Jeeves' words seem to hold a certain wisdom,

a reminder that we should not be impatient or hasty in our expectations,

but rather trust in the slow and meticulous process of life's unfolding.

Perhaps this is a valuable lesson that we can all take to heart and apply in our own lives.

Though through no fault of his own, Bertie Wooster once again finds himself courting bad luck. And that's not the only thing he's courting. He's attempting to please his aunt, avoid getting married, and stay out of prison. However, there is only so much that Jeeves can do to turn these situations around. The story is liberally dosed with humor, and the more you read about Jeeves and Wooster and all the supporting cast, the more you'll come to like them. This audio version was performed admirably by Jonathan Cecil, which only serves to enhance its entertainment value.

The misadventures of Bertie Wooster are always a source of great amusement. His bumbling attempts to navigate through life, with the help of the ever-capable Jeeves, make for a hilarious read. The supporting cast also adds to the charm of the story, with their unique personalities and antics. The audio version, performed by Jonathan Cecil, brings the characters to life in a whole new way. His excellent narration adds an extra layer of entertainment to an already enjoyable story.

Whether you're a fan of classic British humor or just looking for a good laugh, the Jeeves and Wooster series is definitely worth checking out. The combination of witty writing, lovable characters, and excellent audio performances makes it a truly entertaining experience.

This is truly well worthy of the five “chocolate chips” that I have awarded it.

The hilarious scenes alone make it more than deserving. Just picture Bertie, hopelessly stuck in hiding behind the drawing room couch.

Meanwhile, Spode, Pop Bassett, Madeleine, and Plank occupy the room at various intervals.

The chaos and comicality that ensue are simply uproarious.

It's like a farcical play unfolding before our eyes, with Bertie's attempts to avoid detection adding to the hilarity.

What larks indeed!

The combination of these characters and their interactions in such a confined space creates a recipe for non-stop entertainment.

It's a joy to read and experience the humorous situations that Bertie finds himself in.
