1987 - I was twenty-five years old and holed up in the intensive care unit at the National Neurological Hospital in London, stricken from head to toe with Guillain-Barré Syndrome. Symptoms: total paralysis. Prognosis: uncertain.Guillain Barré Syndrome is a bizarre illness. It attacks the myelin sheath that transmits messages along one's peripheral nerves. One day my toes went numb. A week later I found myself in hospital, unable to move, breathe or speak. An unscratchable itch on my leg couldI really enjoyed the comic adventures and the snappy, humorous dialogue between the two main characters - Bertie Wooster and his manservant Jeeves. I also liked the format, a series of short stories, which made it easier to start and stop. This was my first Jeeves book but I plan on going back to #1 and reading through the series! My interest in the series was piqued when I recently bought "Jeeves and the Wedding Bells" which was written as an homage to P. G. Wodehouse, several decades after the
Reading about Bertie's and Jeeves' adventures makes me happy. In my mind, Bertie is sort of like Mr. Bean, and Jeeves is the 007 of the butlering world. I think this is my 4th or 5th Wodehouse book in this series and I can't stop reading them. They're addictive!
A little Wodehouse is good for the soul.I chose this fun volume of Jeeves & Wooster because I needed some cheering up after finishing a long and depressing tome (I'm looking at you, Donna Tartt) and now all is well again. Right ho!"Very Good, Jeeves" is a collection of 11 short stories featuring everyone's favorite valet ("a personal gentleman's gentleman," as Jeeves describes himself) and the ongoing scrapes of Mr. Bertie Wooster. In each story, either Bertie or one of his friends and
Unseen in the background, Fate was quietly slipping lead into the boxing-glove.Boy, Fate really had it for Bertie Wooster. The moment poor chap decided it was time to take it easy, sit back, and relax one of his childhood friends managed to entangle him into his (friend's) problem and Bertie inevitable got the short end of the stick. If his supply of childhood friends got exhausted at any point there were Aunt Agatha and Aunt Dahlia to keep him entertained - and these two had even more
About: Very Good, Jeeves! was written by the comic write P.G. Wodehouse and published in 1930. This is the third book Ive read in the Jeeves and Wooster series. This is a comic series about the wealthy Bertie Wooster and his gentlemans gentleman Jeeves. Bertie and his friends often get into scenarios they cant get out of and must rely on Jeeves to get them out. This installment in the series is a short story collection. The other two I read were short story collections as well. I believe later
Going into "Very Good, Jeeves," I knew five of its stories would be repeats for me -- they comprised another collection I read, "Jeeves and the Old School Chum" -- but it turns out I had already read all eleven of its stories. I'm not quite sure how this happened. I don't think I'd read this particular collection before, but it's possible I had and simply forgot. I blame this on Wodehouse, whose book titles were all so bloody similar: "Very Good, Jeeves," "Thank You, Jeeves," "Right Ho, Jeeves,"
