Our view
There is a great deal to laugh at in “Right Ho, Jeeves”, a light comedy about an idle, self-satisfied master and the valet who outthinks him. It is the second full-length novel about Bertie Wooster and Jeeves, and its admirers take unfailing pleasure in it. Some readers find Bertie and most of those around him too unpleasant to care about, and laugh only rarely. A classic for anyone in need of cheering up.
