About this ebook
'It beats me why a man of his genius is satisfied to hang around pressing my clothes and what not,' says Bertie. 'If I had Jeeves's brain I should have a stab at being Prime Minister or something.'
Luckily for us, Bertie Wooster manages to retain Jeeves's services through all the vicissitudes of purple socks and policeman's helmets, and here, gathered together for the first time, is an omnibus of Jeeves novels and stories comprising three of the funniest books ever written: Thank You, Jeeves, The Code of the Woosters and The Inimitable Jeeves.

The good: Jeeves is a kind of superhero and Bertie's got a way with the words. The bad: So little plot, soooo many woooords. If you have the patience of a saint and don't mind verbose people, have at it. There's no denying that the writing is top notch and it's laugh out loud funny now and then. Possibly it works best as an audiobook (and if it's ever narrated by Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie I'll be all over that in a flash) but this wasn't for me

PG Wodehouse is the best when it comes to humour. You can read when you are happy, when you are sad, when you are traveling or when you are sick
