I laughed so uproariously that my partner pleaded with me to close the door so she could work in tranquility.

On one hand, this is an outrageously funny, perfect, harmless, absurd, fanciful, and goofy little story. It has the power to make anyone burst into fits of laughter.

On the other hand, from my personal perspective, I consider it an accomplishment in the realm of covertly queer literature. Any character whose entire motivation hinges on their resistance to heterosexual marriage and whose entire daily life revolves around a homosocial friendship with a dedicated companion can be regarded as queer.

No matter how you analyze or dissect it, Wodehouse is indeed a genius. This work is truly remarkable and spectacular. It's like a tonic that enlivens every inch of one's soul, leaving one with a sense of joy and wonder.

It's a literary gem that deserves to be cherished and enjoyed by all who have a penchant for humorous and thought-provoking tales.

Perfect escape for the current times!

In these challenging and often overwhelming times, we all need a perfect escape. It could be a quiet corner of our home where we can lose ourselves in a good book, shutting out the chaos of the outside world. Or perhaps it's a virtual journey through the wonders of nature, courtesy of online documentaries and virtual reality experiences.

Maybe it's engaging in a hobby that we've always loved but never had enough time for, like painting, drawing, or playing a musical instrument. The possibilities for a perfect escape are endless.

It's important to take the time to find that special place or activity that allows us to unwind, relax, and rejuvenate. In doing so, we can better cope with the stress and uncertainties of the current times and emerge stronger and more resilient. So, go ahead and find your perfect escape today!

Most Hilarious!

Bertie was truly in his element, and Jeeves was no less so. The story was filled with numerous scenes that were so outrageously funny that I simply could not control myself from laughing out loud.

Bertie's bumbling antics and Jeeves' calm and collected responses to his master's misadventures created a comical dynamic that had me in stitches.

Whether it was Bertie getting himself into absurd situations or Jeeves coming up with ingenious solutions to save the day, every moment was a source of great amusement.

The humor was not only in the actions and dialogues but also in the witty observations and the satirical take on the upper-class society of the time.

It was a joy to read and I found myself eagerly turning the pages to see what hilarious escapade Bertie and Jeeves would get into next.

Overall, it was a highly entertaining and laugh-out-loud experience that I would recommend to anyone in need of a good dose of humor.

Bertie is compelled to go back to Totleigh Towers.

Even though its owner, Sir Watkyn Bassett, once imprisoned him for a college prank and truly can't stand him.

Moreover, Sir Watkyn's daughter, Madeline, has sworn that if her present engagement to Gussie Fink fails, she will become Mrs. Wooster.

When that betrothal is endangered, Bertie has no option but to enter the dangerous situation and fix Gussie and Madeline's relationship to avoid the dreaded marriage.

Certainly, numerous other absurd and comical events follow: Bertie is (wrongly) accused of theft and then of kleptomania and spends a night in jail.

Jeeves pretends to be a Scotland Yard Chief Inspector.

A gaudy alpine hat is sacrificed.

All in all, it's a hilarious and chaotic adventure for Bertie and his friends.

The story is full of unexpected twists and turns that keep the readers entertained from start to finish.

This story is literally fucking hilarious. It had me crying with laughter. I was so entertained that I immediately sent Jacob to the shop to snuffle up as many Wodehouse books as he can find.

I can't wait to get my hands on those books and experience more of the same kind of humor.

Wodehouse's writing is truly a gem, and I'm glad I discovered it through this story.

I'm sure that Jacob will have a great time searching for the books, and I'll be eagerly waiting for him to return with his haul.

In the meantime, I'll be reliving the moments that made me laugh so hard and sharing this story with everyone I know.

It's just that good!

This particular installment in the series is not among the greatest.

A significant number of the gags seem to be recycled from previous books.

Although it makes use of most of the characters and the setting from the highly entertaining The Code of the Woosters, for me, it failed to ignite the same level of enthusiasm.

To be certain, it is still enjoyable, but it has a sense of being formulaic in a way that other works by Wodehouse, even if they follow a certain pattern, do not.

Perhaps it's the familiarity of the recycled jokes that makes it feel a bit less fresh and exciting compared to some of his other offerings.

Nonetheless, it still has its charm and can provide some light-hearted entertainment.

However, for those who are looking for something truly new and innovative in the Wodehouse canon, this book may not quite hit the mark.

It's a decent read, but it doesn't quite reach the heights of some of his other masterpieces.

The adventures of Bertie and Jeeves are filled with great fun and hilarity. Their misadventures are sure to keep readers entertained from start to finish.

Whether you're a fan of classic British literature or just looking for a good laugh, the stories of Bertie Wooster and Jeeves are definitely worth checking out.

A classic and thoroughly enjoyable read.

I particularly like Bertie's use of words - when he can think of the one he wants! His vocabulary is both charming and idiosyncratic, adding a unique flavor to the stories.

It is hard not to read these books without seeing Stephen Fry and Hugh Lauri as Jeeves and Wooster though, not that that's a bad thing! Their portrayals in the television series have become so iconic that they almost seem to be the definitive versions of the characters.

However, even without the mental image of Fry and Lauri, the books themselves are a delight. The witty banter, the absurd situations, and the endearing characters all combine to make for a truly entertaining read.

Whether you're a fan of the television series or not, these books are well worth picking up and enjoying. They are a classic of English literature and a testament to the power of great storytelling.

Sempre divertido is a Portuguese phrase that means "always fun". It implies a state of constant enjoyment and amusement. Life can be full of various experiences, and when we approach them with a "sempre divertido" attitude, we are more likely to find joy and excitement in the simplest of things.


Whether it's spending time with friends and family, engaging in a hobby, or exploring new places, having a positive and fun-loving mindset can enhance our overall well-being. It allows us to let go of stress and worry and focus on the present moment.


We should strive to embrace the concept of sempre divertido in our daily lives. Look for opportunities to have fun, laugh, and create memories. Surround ourselves with positive people who share our love for enjoyment. By doing so, we can make our lives more fulfilling and meaningful, always filled with the spirit of fun and adventure.

Wodehouse has never disappointed me. His works are always lighthearted and filled with a keenly honed sense of humour.

But one thing I've often noticed is that when I've managed to get something off my mind, it almost invariably happens that Fate slyly sidles up and shoves on something else. It's as if Fate is curiously eager to see just how much I can take. This very thing went into its act on the present occasion. I was feeling that I already had enough on my plate and really didn't need something else to worry about. But no, Fate, with a mischievous glint in its eye, spat on its hands and got right down to business. It allowed Madeline Bassett to corner me as I was nonchalantly passing through the hall.

And there I was, trapped, with yet another complication added to my already chaotic life. Thanks a lot, Fate!

There’s nothing quite like a Jeeves and Wooster novel to restore the faith after a bad book.

In these wonderful stories, tightly plotted chaos unfolds at Brinkley Hall. The antics and misadventures of Bertie Wooster and his friends are a source of great entertainment.

And yet again, it is Jeeves’ remarkable fish-fuelled brain that saves the day. His intelligence, resourcefulness, and ability to anticipate every situation are truly remarkable.

With his calm and collected demeanor, Jeeves is always able to find a way out of the most difficult predicaments. Whether it’s dealing with a meddling aunt, a romantic entanglement, or a social faux pas, Jeeves is the ultimate problem solver.

Reading a Jeeves and Wooster novel is like taking a journey into a world of humor, charm, and elegance. It’s a world where the upper class is both ridiculous and endearing, and where Jeeves is the hero who always comes to the rescue.

So if you’re in need of a good laugh and a bit of light-hearted entertainment, look no further than a Jeeves and Wooster novel. You won’t be disappointed.
