The Inimitable Jeeves by P. G. Wodehouse
This was my first meeting with Jeeves, and I must admit that I enjoyed the audiobook immensely.
The book is a series of very loosely linked stories. In most of them, young, wealthy Wooster or his pal Bingo Little get in some sticky situation often involving a woman or gambling, and it is up to Wooster’s genius butler Jeeves to solve the problem. Sometimes Wooster asks Jeeves for help and sometimes Jeeves takes care of the situation before Wooster even realizes there is cause for concern.
I have to say that some of the situations Wooster found himself were just hilarious. My personal favorite, though, is when he goes to the country and bets on the which of the local parsons will deliver the longest sermon.
The narrator’s accent and the British slang were a treat for me and just added to the fun. I will definitely be reading more of the Jeeves books.

My copy was borrowed from the library and the above is my honest opinion. I am an Amazon associate.
I’ve never read Jeeves, but it looks like a good audio selection!
This sounds like it would be a fun read! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I haven’t read any Wodehouse- I tried a short story collection once and it didn’t catch me. But I want to try Jeeves!
I love Jeeves. Bertie is such a nincompoop. LOL! These are my need a pick me up books because I know I’ll always enjoy the heck out of them!
An accent doesn’t put me off at all so I think I would enjoy it too.
Sounds like a great deal of fun, thanks for the review.
I’ve read several good reviews about these books! I bet my mother would love them.
Sounds like a wonderful book! I also like the readers’ Bill of Rights!
