(225 pages)
I really want to like Wodehouse's books. He has such a funny way of writing (always coming up with a phrase or word that I wouldn't expect); I think the books are considered to have aged well; I want to keep trying; but I usually end up wondering why I'm spending any time reading them. Hmm.
My last Wodehouse attempt was 10 years ago.
This is the first volume in what became a lengthy series of books centered around the unflappable problem-solving butler, Jeeves. He is employed by Bertie Wooster - a youngish gentleman who is independently wealthy. In this volume, Bertie is beset by Aunt Agatha; deals with multiple romances experienced by his friend Bingo; deals with two miscreant cousins (Claude and Eustace).
With Jeeves around, everything turns out well.
OK I will try the next Jeeves volume before deciding on whether to give up.
