P.G. Wodehouse writes novels and stories that are easy to read and fairly thin on plot, but that doesn’t mean that his books don’t have substance. It’s the way he writes that’s important: the deft characterizations, the dialogue, and the quick wit that’s on display in every page that make his books so immensely readable. Very Good, Jeeves is a collection of the Jeeves & Wooster short stories, each of them showing idle bachelor Bertie Wooster involved with some sort of very upper-class tragedy that somehow goes even further downhill, but is always pulled out of the soup by his ingenious “gentleman’s personal gentleman”, Jeeves. This third volume of the Jeeves & Wooster stories is, like all the others, worth reading, especially if you like Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams, both of whom were influenced by Wodehouse’s writing style and sense of humour.
