Book Reviews of Jeeves in the Offing (A Jeeves and Bertie Novel)
Book Review: Jeeves character is timeless
Summary: 5 Stars
I first began reading Wodehouse 24 years ago (1985) and found the Jeeves stories most entertaining. Being a lover of the English language I was always fascinated with Jeeves' wonderful command of the language. Ironically, in his stoical, unfunny and businesslike demeanour he turns to be the exact opposite. That, in my opinion is what makes the stories so wonderfully funny.
Summary of Jeeves in the Offing (A Jeeves and Bertie Novel)
Fans of P. G. Wodehouse's comic genius are legion, and their devotion to his masterful command of hilarity borders on obsession. Overlook happily feeds the obsession with four more antic selections from the master.Blandings Castle is a collection of tales concerning Lord Emsworth and the Threepwood clan, while Jeeves in the Offing finds Bertie Wooster in yet another scrape-with the peerless Jeeves out of sight, on vacation! Poor Bertie nearly becomes unstuck! Young Men in Spats is Wodehouse at his most sparkling: stories concerning members of the inimitable Drones Club-they may be small of brain and short on cash but they are always good for ingenious adventures. And in The Luck of the Bodkins, the action spans London, New York, Hollywood, and several transatlantic liners, as three dapper young men find themselves in various Wodehousian predicaments concerning their love lives and finances.
Each volume has been reset and printed on Scottish cream-wove, acid-free paper, sewn and bound in cloth. These novels are elegant and essential additions to any Wodehouse fan's library.
