  <default_description>Affairs of the heart run more smoothly for Jeeves's ministration.

Bertie's friend Bing falls in love with every other woman he meets, from Mabel, the waitress at the bun shop, to the Amazonian Honoria Glossop (whom Aunt Agatha has earmarked for Bertie). Naturally there are obstacles to be overcome - the matter of allowances, class prejudices and a lack of revolutionary tendencies. Rely on Jeeves's superb brain-power to emancipate Bertie and Bing from the tightest of corners.

&quot;P. G. Wodehouse at his shining best.&quot; --John Mortimer</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[My first Wodehouse and I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.  Read it cover-to-cover on a transatlantic flight, earning stares from my fellow passengers as I repeatedly laughed out loud.  Physical comedy doesn't usually translate well into writing, but here it does (esp. the cats!...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40729314">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Connie, I'm sorry.  I didn't like it as much as you did.  I certainly did not like it as much as all the semi-famous people cited on the back cover did.  Although, I'm not sure how much credibility Marian Keyes can provide.  <br/><br/>As much as I love taking the mick out of gullible, slightly awk...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64141113">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Bertram Wooster's pals all have such rummy names.. Gussy, Tuppy, Biffy,  and of course Bingo Little. Bingo is the pal who shows up in many of the episodes in this particular book. Several of the episodes I've seen on screen in the Hugh Laurie (Bertie) and Stephen Fry (Jeeves) version. Good stuff.

    <body><![CDATA[A little disjointed for a Wooster book, but still a great read. This one comes off as more of a collection of interrelated short stories, but at the end of the final chapter, he ties everything together. <br/><br/>Another win for Wodehouse. Some great moments, like the cats and the fish in the bed...]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[They are all good, of course, but this one is top tier. It would be worthwhile to read Wodehouse just for the metaphors alone, and this one is rich with them. In the film Collision, Christopher quotes a line from this book -- &quot;he looked like a sheep with a secret sorrow.&quot;]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was the first Wodehouse collection of stories that I've read.  I think I prefer his novels, but I really liked how he tied the stories together with various character details or plot points.
