Kirsten's review of Carry On, Jeeves
Carry On, Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse
It amuses me that the Library of Congress headings for this book listed on my library's computer are: single men; valets; England. True. And yet... :)
This book pretty much fits very well with my recent Dorothy Sayers binge, but has the unfortunate effect of making me want to run around saying "What ho!" and "Dashed annoying, what?" and such even more so than usual. In this collection of stories, Bertie Wooster (who quite freely admits that he is a chump) is guided and cared for by his genius valet, Jeeves. Jeeves also applies his excellent intellect to assisting Bertie's pals, who usually need help in impressing women and/or convincing their rich relatives to keep supporting their idle lifestyle. The stories are often laugh-out-loud funny, and I was left wishing that I had a Jeeves of my own.
