Book Reviews of Carry On, Jeeves (A Jeeves and Bertie Novel)
Book Review: Carry on being Jeeves - you are the best Mr. Wodehouse!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just loved Carry On Jeeves - such a wonderful Wodehouse creation - indeed, he's one of the best characters PG made!!! I think in our hearts we all wish we had a friend like Jeeves....so he's the best! Bertie is the lucky one (after Jeeves saves his bacon time after time)! But then again I am such a sucker for all of Wodehouse and the wacky people he created, and will never stop reading his stories, (or watching some of the Jeeves and Wooster on DVD), and you are going to enjoy Jeeves too, and you are going to laugh. But that's not all, you get great word play, you get comedy, you get farce, but you also get human emotions and last but not least, you get a look back in time - not really that far back only 100 years or so, give or take, but at a time that we can remember but without cell phones, where newspapers came out two or 3 times a day, where telegrams were sent like we email and where you could still get away with a clever impersonation! Enjoy! And if you are looking for some more Wodehouse fare, these are a few rare but VERY funny books that you will enjoy every last page of.....

Book Review: What ho!
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say that hasn't already been said about the inimitable P.G. Wodehouse???
Carry On, Jeeves is a great starter book for those who are intimidated with the amount of J&W books available (or rather, don't know where to begin). The first story in this book is about the first day Bertie Wooster met his personal gentleman (or valet, if you prefer), Jeeves. The stories easily stand on their own; with the exception of characters being mentioned or being part of the plot, the book is not a novel you have to read front to back. Consider it a literary sitcom, where new scenarios and conflicts arise with each story you read.
My favourite bit about reading Carry On, Jeeves was the last story of the book, where it takes a refreshing twist and is narrated by Mr. Jeeves rather than Bertie Wooster. It was great reading from Jeeves's perspective.
Lots of chuckles throughout and a few hardy laughs. Overall a perfect read.
Book Review: I'll make this short...
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife is a huge fan of the Jeeves and Wooster books. She said this one has been her favorite so far. Please understand my wife is not the type to laugh out-loud very often, being more of the serious type. However she laughs hysterically when she reads the Jeeves books, especially this one. I have not read the books but will one day. She tells me so much about them that I'll need to forget it before I can enjoy it. So, if you're looking for an entertaining novel that'll keep you laughing, them I highly recommend getting this book.Book Review: wodehouse forever!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wodehouse is perhaps the best antidote I know for depression. His novels are literally unreal, for Bertie inhabits a world of leisure, servants, and privilege, an Edenic world where even the threat of pain, suffering, and mortality have no place, and Jeeves is always there as a deus ex machina. But ultimately we return to Wodehouse (again and again!) because of the language--quite simply, the man cannot write a bad sentence.Book Review: Nice collection of Jeeves & Bertie stories
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a big P.G. Wodehouse fan. This series of books is especially fun as each book is easily read and enjoyed. The print size is perfect. Great nighttime reading to relieve the stresses of the modern world.
