Status Updates From Jeeves and the King of Clubs

What.. ho? I didn't know about this Homage to Wodehouse! Just diving in, with remarkably high expectations

stalled on this
I mean, it's fine, but i rarely get through a whole Wodehouse in one go, so I guess it's doing a very good imitation of one.
Heh

Even the footnotes have footnotes, which is highly enjoyable.

I absolutely loved it!. I already checked out the next one and also the first two of the original series!!

Utterly brilliant! - I can hardly put it down, but I really don’t want it to finish!

Would never have guessed that this wasn't written by Wodehouse himself. Schott did an excellent job paying homage.

"I felt that shot of gratification you get on discovering the mislaid portion of a half-eaten cucumber sandwich."

"Have you ever wondered why chickens and pigs, who rarely see eye to eye in the farmyard, are so utterly congenial on the plate?"

"Good morning, sir."
"Is it? I have grave doubts."

Haven’t laughed so much w a book in a long time Fortunately he’s got a few more to read Thanks Ben u made my dad

“There are, of course, three ways to hide behind a sofa.”

Omg so far it’s so Wodehousey!!! Such fun!

Great!

Dandy!

As with every Jeeves and Wooster book this is preposterous. It's also wickedly funny and an excellent companion to Wodehouse.

And as always, seems to be sharing the moral that life is easier if you just fess up to things, rather than creating elaborate schemes! Less fun but easier!

So far, so disappointing. The joy of Wodehouse is completely missing. What's the old saying, Death is easy, comedy is hard? This author reads like he should be writing drama - not light comedy.

Time flies when you're reading after hours. ;)

I wish Jeeves were real and I wish he was my butler/friend/back up brain.

I think we would get along just fine.

This is delightful 😂😂

I'm genuinely enjoying this.

No, it's NOT Wodehouse--but it is VERY NEAR the mark, my good crumpets.

Really need to focus because all the wit is interwoven and dense. And sooo funny. Hope to finish at some point.

Not "background" reading, if you know what I mean.

Loving it so much!! Laughing :-)

Ben Schott does a good Wodehouse. But why? I was charmed by the first chapter and I read on, thinking he was gonna turn the genre inside out or something. I don't know why I burdened it with those ambitions, but I hadn't read any reviews of it and this is what I expected, that the imitation of Wodehouse was just the beginning. I don't think I'll finish it. For the life of me I can't choose a book these days.

I am very bummed that I have to work today rather than finish this. Mr. Schott has captured the characters of Jeeves and Bertie excellently, and the story is a hoot so far.

Wow, Madeleine Bassett is in fine form! Even worse almost! 🙈😜

Poor Bertie. He’s forever getting pulled into such crazy schemes!

Audiobook.

Laughing a LOT. Oh, my, does this author have P G Wodehouse's style down!

Very funny.

So glad to be listening to this as an audiobook so I can shout "The code of the Woosters" and "Aunts aren't Gentlemen" as the author happily works Wodehouse titles into the dialogue.
