3.0 out of 5 stars
A disappointment
As a long-time aficionado of everything written by P. G. Wodehouse, perhaps my expectations for this book were unrealistic.

This review is from: Jeeves: A Gentleman's Personal Gentleman (Hardcover)
As a long-time aficionado of everything written by P. G. Wodehouse, perhaps my expectations for this book were unrealistic. My favorite characters have always been Jeeves and Wooster so I eagerly began reading this book. Sadly, the words lack-luster and dull immediately spring to mind. The place and character names would cause even Wodehouse to cringe. But, when Lord Peter Wimsey, Father Brown, and Hercule Poirot were woven into the story, I went right over the edge. This is an okay read for anyone who has no knowledge of Jeeves, P. G. Wodehouse, or English literature in general.
