The Inimitable Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse - 3* - My Review

Anyone familiar with P.G. Wodehouse knows that he has written a series of books about two lovable characters, Bertie Wooster and his valet, Jeeves. I am relatively new to his world, and this is only my second time reading these books. Published in 1923, this volume is episodic in nature. Bertie’s friend Bingo Little repeatedly falls in love, the well-meaning but hapless Bertie tries to help but only makes things worse, and Jeeves finds many ways to come to the rescue. Jeeves is the hero of these stories, invariably providing solutions through his superior intellect, social astuteness, and understanding of human nature. It is written in the tone of gentle satire, with plenty of humor thrown in. It isn’t rocket science, but I enjoyed it as an escape from our current troubled world.
