Resumen del Editor

Everyone - even Augustus the cat - has cause to be obliged to Jeeves when he manages to retrieve the infamous Book - the book which lays bare the private lives of three-quarters of the upper classes. And which could prove to be political dynamite at the Market Snodsbury by-election.

fun story

One of my favorite Wodehouse stories, with great narration. Excellent voice talent for different characters.

Landen lands it

I like, many other reviewers, am very fond of Jonathan Cecil’s readings of the Jeeves books, but Landen is also excellent in his own, very different, way. Definitely not a reason to avoid this delightful member of the series.

Rushing narrator sounds the same for everybody

You can't even tell the difference between Bertie and Jeeves!

I think that says enough about the narrator. I have likes and dislikes of narrators of Jeeves, but this is my least favorite.

He also rushes through everything, not taking a breath, which makes distinguishing between characters even harder. The non-stop rush also gives me a headache. It's as if I've fast forwarded everything 2x. Very frustrating to listen to. Don't listen to it when you're stressed, or even when you're not stressed, because you will be after 10 minutes of this.

Difficult narrator

Compared to some of the other narrators of P.G. Wodehouse's books, this one was not pleasant to listen to--the characters often sounded alike and the narration seemed rushed. Not a bad PGW story; wish it would have been a different narrator.

Hilarious

Wodehouse never disappoints, giving me many belly-laughs which must make the neighbours question my sanity if they hear.

wonderful twists and turns with lots of humor

Wodehouse's descriptions are classic, the narration excellent and plot twists -which I had already listened to once - surprised me again.

Disappointed

The reader is not as good as the former “Jeeves & Wooster” series reader. Speaks much too fast and the British accent so thick that I had to slow down the speed to .8 in order to understand the dialogue.

Much Obliged, Jeeves

The book is quite funny, but the reader Dinsdale Landen does not do it justice. He has a pleasant voice, and I'm sure he's very talented - but he reads too fast, crowding the sentences, and the voices of different speakers are too much alike. I found it difficult to tell who was speaking and when the speaker changed, and I kept wishing that it was Martin Jarvis or Jonathan Cecil reading, instead. It was heavy going, to quote Mr. Wodehouse.....

I'd give it 5 stars if Jarvis or Cecil was reading.

Classic Wodehouse, horrible narrator

Dinsdale Landen races through this book like he's late for dinner. He's poor at distinguishing voices His voice for Jeeves is grating and condescending. His Bertie is dim and gabbling, without Bertie's joie de vivre and good-heartedness. He also cannot pronounce French (preux chevalier pronounced as "pro chevaleer") or Scots (gang agley is "gang AGG-lee"). Extremely disturbing, as Jeeves would say.
