Synopsis:
|
Another collection
of short stories about Bertie Wooster and his fish-fed super-brainy
man-servant, Jeeves.
Whether it is
potential marital status change for Bertie (who seems to be afraid of
said status), or a friend being forced to eat nothing but vegetables
because of his wife's friend, or an Aunt forcing Bertie to something
he doesn't want to (like pay off a waitress who Bertie's Uncle George
wants to marry), Bertie is always in a maelstrom of chaos.
Thankfully, with Jeeves guiding the good ship Wooster, the apparently
inevitable crash upon the rocks never happens and it is smooth
sailing, until the next adventure.

My
Thoughts:
|
The
only complaint I have about short story collections is that it is
wicked hard to synopsize each and every one. So as I've written
before, and I'm sure you may have noticed, I simply don't. Of course,
I also have to complain about these omnibus editions, yet again. This
book was the 3rd
book published by Wodehouse and yet it is the 9th
book in these collections. It also has no relationship in time to the
previous book or two. What phracking idiot curated these anyway? I'd
like to make them walk the plank, after I've tied them to the mast
and given them a taste of the cat'o'nine tails!
Staying on the nautical theme, this was a boatload of fun. Captain
Wodehouse excels in navigating the reader through a funny story that
has a beginning, a middle and an end all within 10-40 pages. For the
most part, Wodehouse's humor tickles my fancy so even if the
particulars of a story doesn't really interest me, the humorous
shenanigans do and that keeps me reading. I experienced no doldrums
while on this pleasure cruise and what's more, none of the offerings
gave me food poisoning or led me to being sick.
Good times!
