"Oh Wodehouse, how I love you. Everything about his novels is fantastic - the cringeworthy situations Wooster gets himself into, the fastidious excellence that is Jeeves, and the overarching humour of it all. I don't think I have ever finished a Wodehouse novel without laughing multiple times." — Faith (4 out of 5 stars)

" I've wanted to read a P.G. Wodehouse for some time. I appreciated the clever writing, but found myself impatient for it to end. "
" I just don't know that this is my kind of book. Delightfully witty by the page, but as a whole I just wasn't all that interested. "
" I need a lot more Wodehouse in my life. "
" I wish every book was 'Code of the Woosters.' - Jorn "
" This book is just plain funny. "
" Fun and funny. I wish I could speak like he does. "
" no one puts words together like bertie wooster "
" When it comes to stealing cow creamers, the only code I live by. "
" One of the funniest and most memorable books I have read but scarcely a book to extend my thinking or to enlarge my world. "
" Wonderful. First-person Wooster is a fun vantage point from which to view tomfoolery and what not. "
" Another fun Wodehouse book! I love the crazy predicaments the main character finds himself in. "
" It had been years since I had read any P.G. Wodehouse. What fun! "
" There's an amazing cleverness and dry humor that's distinctly British, and Wodehouse captures it perfectly in this book. A great, funny read. "
" our man Jeeves. "
" Wooster and Jeeves books are always a hoot to read. Before reading any though, you should watch the PBS series starring Hugh Laurie as Wooster and Steven Fry as Jeeves just to have a picture in your mind of the characters. Light fun viewing and reading! "
" Very funny British humor. Read on a recommendation from Gladys Hunt in her book, "Honey for a Woman's Heart". I will continue this series in the future. "
" Oh, Bertie! Oh, Jeeves! It is great fun to read a book filled with good old-fashioned high-jinx and inanely calamitous situations. Wodehouse's narrative is fresh and ahead of its time. Can't wait to read another. "
" Big, fat belly laughs on every page. P.G. Wodehouse was a brilliant writer. "
" This is the first Wodehouse book I've read, and it lives up to the promise. He is the rare master of the language who manages to be hilarious and fun, too. "
" Not necessarily my style, but I can still appreciate how brilliant it is. I think I have more Wodehouse in my future. "
" Love, love, love these stories, especially as read by Martin Jarvis. Too funny for words. "
" Fun read with catchy language that had me laughing out loud more than once! It is an intricately woven story that you have to pay attention to because every detail is important! That may be overstating it, but all the pieces do come together!! Light-hearted and funny "
Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881–1975) was an English humorist who wrote novels, short stories, plays, poems, song lyrics, and numerous pieces of journalism. He was highly popular throughout a career that lasted more than seventy years, and his many writings continue to be widely read. He is best known for his novels and short stories of Bertie Wooster and his manservant Jeeves and for his settings of English upper-class society of the pre– and post–World War I era. He lived in several countries before settling in the United States after World War II. During the 1920s, he collaborated with Broadway legends like Cole Porter and George Gershwin on musicals and, in the 1930s, expanded his repertoire by writing for motion pictures. He was honored with a knighthood in 1975.
Martin Jarvis, OBE, has recorded more than 150 Just William stories for the BBC. These have become international audio bestsellers. He won the Theatre World Award for his starring role on Broadway in By Jeeves; his West End appearances include works by Ayckbourn, Frayn, Pinter, and Wilde. Screen successes include everything from Stargate Atlantis, Doctor Who, and Numb3rs to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and the Oscar-winning Titanic.
