About this listen

The misadventures of P.G. Wodehouse's Bertie Wooster and his incomparable valet, Jeeves, have delighted audiences for nearly a century. Now, best-selling author Ben Schott brings this odd couple back to life in a madcap new adventure that is full of the hijinks, entanglements, imbroglios, and Wodehousian wordplay that fans love. And, by Jove, there's a hook!

In this escapade, the Junior Ganymede Club (Jeeves's association of butlers and valets) is revealed to be an arm of the British intelligence service. Jeeves must ferret out a fascist spy, and only his hapless employer can help. Unfolding in the background are school-chum capers, affairs of the heart, drawing-room escapades, antics with aunts, and sartorial set-tos.

Energized by Schott's effervescent prose, Jeeves and the King of Clubs delights longtime fans and introduces a new audience to the comic joys of these beloved characters.

As a die-hard devotee of all things Plum, I was I am pleasantly surprised to say Jeeves and the King of Clubs is a tasty young smoked offering worthy of the master. Pithy humor, absurd yet ingenious plot twists, many of the well loved (and some despicable) characters, it's all there! Its not as stellar a work as from the pen of PGW himself, and even if it were, I would feel duty bound to deny it, but it is dashed good stuff. Well done!!!

I can only hope Mr. Schott does not stop with this worthy reboot of Wodehouse characters.

A Delight

I’ve been a Jeeves and Wooster fan since I was a little kid, and hearing this was like discovering a classic Jeeves story I’d somehow missed. Though it does have espionage in it, it is a Jeeves and Wooster story first, and the capers always unfold in a Wodehousian way. And the narrator’s lively performance make me believe that listening to this tale is the way to go. Tinkety tonk!

While not a traditional PG woodhouse, this slightly different take on their adventures and personalities was surprising and entertaining. I wonder if the local color is accurate as described. If so that was also interesting if not it was very imaginative.

I enjoyed it

Ben Schott does a great job of capturing Wodehouse’s voice without copying it. You will find many beloved characters lovingly and faithfully captured in this book. I am a big Wodehouse fan. And I absolutely loved “Jeeves and the King of Clubs.”

A fitting “homage”

No one could ever touch Wodehouse’s genius with word and story, but this was a fun tribute to him, to Bertie and to Jeeves. The tropes were there and the playfulness.

A cute homage to Wodehouse

This felt like a Wodehouse novel. Not only the convoluted situations they encounter, but the verbiage and wit paid homage. Very enjoyable!!

Wodehouse would be proud

A reverent reboot of classic charecters delivered so infectiously by the narrator, finished in-one-continuous-listen. tickityboo!

The author has captured the style of P. G. Wodehouse perfectly. The performance was delightful. All the characters sounded exactly like I thought they should. If you are a Wodehouse fan you should try this audiobook. If you have not read Wodehouse, this is a good introduction to his most famous characters.

Amazing!
