As many consider Sigmund Freud as the father of psychology and Adam Smith the father of economy, I find Sir Arthur Conan Doyle the father of mystery and suspense.

About the author

Show More
Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a British writer and physician. He created the character Sherlock Holmes in 1887 for A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels and fifty-six short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are milestones in the field of crime fiction.
Doyle was a prolific writer. In addition to the Holmes stories, his works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger, and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement" (1884), helped to popularise the mystery of the brigantine Mary Celeste, found drifting at sea with no crew member aboard.

My actual rating: 3.75. What a fun, farcisal and whimsical look into the past. Bertie and Jeeves are such memorable characters and ones that are timeless. Since I am such a lover of all things British, I found this delightful. Wodehouse has a way of writing satirical farce which I find enchanting. I was thoroughly entertained and amused.

I had rather mixed feelings about this book.
To begin with I was absolutely loving the short stories about Bertie & Jeeves, being a fan of the show with Stephen Fry & Hugh Laurie. Really amusing.
Then the stories in the middle, though still amusing, were a little confusing. I was unsure what was going on when the main character was no longer Bertie but now Reggie. I wondered why it was the Jeeves collection, if the stories were not all about Jeeves?
Then the final story, being the longest, after all that went before, just felt a bit too long and drawn out. I think I would have enjoyed the book that bit more if the longest story was at the start and perhaps if the Reggie stories were at the end, or even better, replaced by more Jeeves & Wooster. So what started as a 5* read ended up 3*. Definately want to read more though
