"Oh Bertie. A beautiful story set while Bertram Wilberforce Wooster must deal with that trial of a time when his faithful valet Jeeves is on holiday. He goes to stay with his aunt Dahlia at Brinkley for the duration, and all manner of hi-jinks ensue. Of course, they must eventually call upon a higher power and have Bertie drive all night to the seaside to get Jeeves. Jeeves, of course, delivers."
"I really enjoyed this Bertie & Jeeves outing, possibly because it was one of the books that *wasn't* adapted for the excellent Jeeves And Wooster television series, so I had no "spoilers" for the story. Funny, endearing, and lighthearted as always. There is a bit less Jeeves in this novel, as he is on his annual vacation during part of it, but he still comes to Bertram's aid in the end.
What I learned from this book? Well-crafted humor never goes out of season. Wodehouse, Jerome K. Jerome -- still as funny in the twenty-first century as they were in the 1920s and the 1880s."
"Almost always adore Wodehouse but this was not the funniest of the Jeeves series. The reader on this one, Ian Carmichael, does not come up to my favorite reader, Jonanthan Cecil for bringing the characters to comic life. Still- a decent listen."
"Mildly diverting. As expected, everything works out in the end. The first Wodehouse I've read, and prolly the last; there wasn't enough meat, and I wasn't impressed enough to continue reading him."
