My first Wodehouse and I enjoyed it. The style is great, though it took me a while to 'get' it once I had it was brilliant. I'm looking forward to reading more.

I find the whole Wooster and Jeeves thing kind of cute, but a bit off-the-assembly-line as well. In this installment, a bunch of things happen and people say amusing things, but it's been a few days and I don't know if I ever seriously registered any of the details in the first place. Something about stealing a cat to fix a horse race.

this was fun! very silly and charming! just a good time! my first wodehouse book but i’m excited to read more. i love this type of humour, there’s something that’s gently oscar wilde about it
my only complaint is i wish there was more jeeves but i’ve seen other reviews that say this one lacks jeeves so that’s promising

This was strong finish to the series, I'm glad to say. Wodehouse has such a talent for hilarity, these books are a perfect escape read.
Bertie and Jeeves are at their best, though Jeeves played a bit of a smaller role than I would have liked, particularly for the last book in the series, and Aunt Dahlia is at her most shameful-but it all ties together perfectly.
I recommend this book to fans of the series, as well as those looking for a humor read. The Jeeves books are exceptionally well-written, and the high jinks are fantastic!
