The Inimitable Jeeves (Jeeves #2)

This was my second Jeeves book after the Code of The Woosters - a slightly superior book for running as a complete story instead of a closely knit set of short stories like this one does.

Although Woosters is better planned and written by a more experienced writer, Jeeves is just as enjoyable. It's almost experimental in places and reliant on the author's exceptional skill as a bounding narrator rather than cohesive plot. Jeeves himself plays a less involved and more backseat role in this book.

The Inimitable Jeeves satisfies that desire for well written yet disposable material when lighter entertainment is required. It's very good natured but not funny enough to totally enthuse about, but still recommended for its charm, goodwill and literary endeavour, rather than for any meaty or profound content.

Bertie Wooster, Jeeves and crew are dear old souls that deserve a slice of our time. I congratulate and salute to P.G. Wodehouse for another entertaining and heart-warming read.
