One can always get a good laugh out of a P.G. Wodehouse novel and Thank You Jeeves is no exception. At the beginning we find Bertie Wooster practicing his new musical instrument, the bangolele which results in complaints from the neighbors and even the usually patient Jeeves. When his refusal to give up his music, he loses both his flat and Jeeves and ends up renting a cottage in the country from his old school chum Lord Chuffy. When Chuffy falls in love with Bertie's former fiancee, the American millionaire's daughter Pauline, Bertie steps in as matchmaker with the usual hilarious results which Jeeves, now working for Chuffy, has to entangle. I recommend this book to anyone who likes to giggle s well as enjoy the occasional sudden guffaw as the various character work their way through their dilemmas and entanglements.

Thank You Jeeves Bertie Wooster Jeeves P G Wodehouse 9780393345995 Books Reviews

A classic Wodehouse narrated by great actor. As usual Bertie gets himself in trouble and Jeeves finds a way to get him out of his problem. In this instance Jeeves also helps four other persons as well. I love the writing style, the plots are light as a feather but that is what is I like about the Jeeves and Bertie books. I recommend this book for everyone who like to laugh and have fun.
I believe this was PG Wodehouse's first Jeeves and Wooster novel after numerous short story outings. I found it to be a great read and although it is probably a rung or two down on the ladder of PG's absolute best ('Code of The Woosters' and 'Joy In The Morning' come to mind as at the top) it is still terrific fun.
I also like these Norton editions as they have a good size clear print and feel great in the hands!. A shame they don't publish the whole catalogue.
What to say, what to say! If you are a fan of Wodehouse, this is more of the same. And that's Good! Jeeves and Wooster are not their to educate, or make you think great thoughts...their sole purpose is to entertain and make you laugh. Mission accomplished!

If you haven't ready Wodehouse, should you start here? Why not? Do the Jeeves/Wooster books sometimes refer to different books? Well, yes, sometimes. But what sequence you read these books is not that important. I believe P.G. Wodehouse started the stories of Jeeves and Wooster around 1916 or so, and wrote the last one in 1974. Bertie Wooster and Jeeves never aged a day that I can see, and they seem to perpetually exist somewhere in the 1920's, at least as nearly as I can tell.
I would hate to call one particular Jeeves book the "best", they are all fun, light, and make me laugh out loud. I love serious literature too, but sometimes I just want something light, and Bertie Wooster and Jeeves fill the bill!
I think I may have finally exhausted all of the Bertie and Jeeves books/stories by Wodehouse, so in a sense this is a sad day for me. I suppose over time I'll have enough mental distance to read some of them again, but I feel as if I've lost a treasured group of close friends. The unique, and very different, characters of Bertie (the loutish but well-intentioned moneyed upper-class wastrel) and Jeeves (the classic "gentleman's gentleman" who anticipates every need, magically appears when needed, and applies his "huge brain" ("eats lots of fish", per Bertie)) to consistently delivers Bertie (and others) from precarious predicaments. There are no plots, per se, to these books; just the wonderful repartee, musings, and misadventures of Bertie countered by Jeeves unflappable demeanor and ability to "save the day" at the denouement moment. I won't describe the details of the story because they are ultimately irrelevant - it's the dialogue and situations that carry the day. IMHO there has never been a humorist as brilliant as Wodehouse. I love his other 'series' (Blanding's Castle, Uncle Fred, etc.) but Bertie and Jeeves top the list. My life has truly been better having discovered this exquisitely entertaining world old P.G. created. This one won't disappoint.
In case you have not read Wodehouse yet, let me say that if you enjoy absurd British humor and beautiful English, you are seriously missing out. For my money Wodehouse is the greatest British humorist of the 20th century. This jolly romp concerns the adventures (and misadventures) of Bertram Wooster (Bertie), the lovable, quintessential upper class twit, and Jeeves, his valet--the imperturbably perfect manservant whose head bulges with intelligence. Bertie is dependent on Jeeves to think him out of the absurd scrapes he gets into in his life London and abroad. Here Jeeves resigns because he cannot bear his master's new preoccupation playing the banjo (rather untunefully one gathers.) Bertie retires to the country estate of his chum, Chuffy. Peace is shattered as his former fiance Pauline and her father, the eminent loony-doctor, arrive. Chuffy falls in love with Pauline, who reciprocates. When Bertie and Pauline seem to be caught in flagrante, all hell brakes loose. Miraculously, Jeeves appears to save the day, but not without putting our hero through some hilarious paces. Can't be read without laughing out loud, honestly.
As a sincere lover of both Wodehouse and the Jeeves and Wooster stories, I found this particular entry to be frequently off-putting and less enjoyable than most other entries. As Waugh is quoted as noting, what makes Wodehouse wonderful is the sense one gets in reading his work of a timeless idyllic world; it could never realistically exist, but it is such a delight to visit. This novel, however, feels very much of its time and of this world, or perhaps a world that we are better shot of, so to speak.

There are the requisite share of moments that make one chuckle (the Pro-Con list comes to mind) but there are an equal if not greater number of moments that make one cringe. It functions perhaps more as a curio for the Wooster completist than as a necessary reading experience. Of course, your mileage may vary.

At the beginning we find Bertie Wooster practicing his new musical instrument, the bangolele which results in complaints from the neighbors and even the usually patient Jeeves.
