I am kind of embarrassed to admit that this was my first PG Wodehouse! As most of us do, I surely have friends and family who swear by him but for some vague reason, despite considering myself fairly well read, I have never found myself comfortably perched with a PG Wodehouse. And thus, I sort of surprised myself by picking this up from my sister's impressively stocked library on my last holiday.

And am I glad for having done that! It's like you are missing out in (literary) life by not spending time with a PG Wodehouse.

This is a brilliantly written, witty, funny and adorable story. From Bertie's new moustache to Jeeves unflappable disapproval of the same to Aunt Dahlia's magazine and how she needs Jeeves incredible enterprise to sell her magazine and retain her amazing chef - this is a classic case of comedy of errors that leaves one amazingly amused and refreshed.

Besides the funny story and the witty comments, I particularly enjoyed the language used in the book. It's somewhere between the difficult English of classics and the everyday casual language of today's books. The use of words and phrases reflect  the incredible intelligence of the author!

In summation, I would not be exaggerating in saying that PG Wodehouse is an experience that everyone must embark upon!
