I absolutely love this series, one of my favorites of all time and I reread one or two of them whenever I'm going through a rough time, but I hadn't read this one as an adult and even though it's one of his funniest, the racism is so alarmingly frequent and jarring, I had to take off a couple stars. I think this is the only Jeeves book so far I've rated less than five stars and I understand that you have to take it in the context in which it was written, but there's a line and the racism was just so blatant in this that it completely drew me out of the story on dozens of occasions and just ruined the experience. I'm talking dozens of instances of the n word and a huge amount of the plot revolving around blackface 🤮🤮

It is pretty hilarious but the racism is too much, this one did not age well. I would recommend reading another Jeeves story
