Reader voices
The most-liked reviews on Hardcover (credited to their authors).
“Carry On, Jeeves is a collection of P.G. Wodehouse's Bertie and Jeeves shorts. It includes the four from My Man, Jeeves, so it can stand-in as a starting point to the series if following publication order. I started with The Code of the Woosters, so my expectations were set by that that book. The shorts lack the room for situations to snowball as they did in Code, but they are still funny and charming. My favorite stories are the last three: - Fixing it for Freddie has a sweetness to it in addition to Wodehouse's humor; - Clustering Round Young Bingo reminds me of Code: Bertie is called upon…”
