    "Jonathan Cecil brings Bertie and Jeeves to life"

    It's fluffy stuff but oh so sweet! Do I pity those who have to put up with Bertie's undeserved happiness in life, or do I pity Bertie who is unknowingly putty in Jeeve's hands. The genius of the book is that I do both...at the same time, laughing all the way.

    "Truly Wish I Had A New Jeeves Story Everyday..."

    Wodehouse's wit and dry cleverness seem inexhaustible in these stories. There is a wry smile or a wonderful laugh in almost every minute. The best of British humor!

    "Love these stories!"
    If you could sum up Very Good Jeeves in three words, what would they be?

    Droll, hilarious, British


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Very Good Jeeves?

    The story of "Jeeves and the Old School Chum"


    Which character – as performed by Jonathan Cecil – was your favorite?

    "young Bingo" Little


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    No


    Any additional comments?

    Martin Jarvis is still my absolute favorite narrator for Jeeves and Wooster stories -- he gives Bertie a more animated, varied tone -- but Jonathan Cecil's more subdued style grew on me as I listened.

    Story
    "Classic Wodehouse hilarity!"
    If you could sum up Very Good Jeeves in three words, what would they be?

    Slapstick, zany, rib-tickling. Wodehouse's wacky way of bringing the unexpected into the stories always keeps me in stitches.


    What other book might you compare Very Good Jeeves to and why?

    Mulliner Nights


    Which character – as performed by Jonathan Cecil – was your favorite?

    The inimitable Jeeves


    Any additional comments?

    Thoroughly delightful. I listened as I ran each day.
