Publisher Description
Just as Bertie Wooster is a member of the Drones Club, Jeeves has a club of his own, the Junior Ganymede, exclusively for butlers and gentlemen’s gentlemen. In its inner sanctum is kept the Book of Revelations, where the less than perfect habits of their employers are lovingly recorded. The book is, of course, pure dynamite. So what happens when it disappears into potentially hostile hands?
Tossed about in the resulting whirlwind you’ll find lots of Wodehouse’s favourite characters—and a welcome return to Market Snodsbury, in the middle of one of the most chaotic elections of modern times.

"Not one of the best Wodehouses ever (though of course as felicitously written as ever), but it did what it was supposed to do, i.e. comfort me after three days of torturing myself with Thomas Hardy. Ugh. References to Bertie's Scripture Knowledge Prize unusually frequent."
— Zen (4 out of 5 stars)

" How lovely to read such a light book, when nothing else around you is! "
— Josette, 8/26/2012 -
" This is probably one of my least favorite Jeeves and Wooster stories. I'm sure I read it when I first discovered the stories about 15 years ago, so it was a re-read/re-listen. The secondary characters just are not as interesting to me in this story as in others. "
— Hannah, 3/25/2012 -
" The penultimate Jeeves and Wooster book is one of the best. Smooth, entertaining plot, great characters, wonderful feel. Plum was a master. "
— Sarah, 2/22/2012 -
" Good. Not as fun as some of the others, but still good. I was tired reading this one, so I'm not sure how much was me an how much was the book. "
— Ryan, 1/19/2012 -
" I like P.G. Wodehouse but this is not one of his best. It repeats the same plot devices and characters of earlier novels in the series. "

" My first Wodehouse; I think short stories serve P.G. best, but there is plenty to love here, including a truly epic drunken speech towards the end. "
— Danielroffle, 5/20/2011 -
" P.G. Wodehouse is a genius of his time. The chaos, the all to good ending, the chuckles you will chuckle, make for a good read-aloud. "
— Peet, 5/16/2011 -

" Laugh out loud. I think it helped that I saw the the adaptation with Fry and Laurie. While reading, I had Hugh Laurie's voice in my head. "
— Bob, 3/5/2011 -
" Really pretty funny, as Wodehouse always is. I always picture Bertie Wooster as Hugh Laurie. What an ass he is, but a different kind of ass than Dr. House. "
— Cissy, 3/4/2011 -
