Much Obliged, Jeeves

The Jeeves and Wooster Series

De: P. G. Wodehouse

Narrado por: Dinsdale Landen

Everyone - even Augustus the cat - has cause to be obliged to Jeeves when he manages to retrieve the infamous Book, the book kept under lock and key at the Junior Ganymede Club and 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! It once again falls to Bertie Wooster's manservant to save the day.

decent Wodehouse

Earlier Jeeves and Wooster stories offer more excitement and interest, but it is still a decent and funny story. Performance a bit subpar at times, as the narrator doesn't give consiatent differentiation of the character voices.

Nothing better

Love the story, love the narration, love it all. I listen to Jesus in Worcester while I’m outside gardening, and as I dig in the dirt and we my raised beds, I am chuckling with the story.

same old same old

Wodehouse had approximately three original ideas in his life, and unfortunately he wrote 27 books with them.

PGW is always great but thisnis not my favorite wooster-jeeves.

It might have been the reader — who was fine but can’t compare to the fantastic Jonathan Cecil — but I didn’t like this as much as other Jeeves and Wooster audiobooks.

Listen to this one at 0.75 speed.

Another installment of Jeeves & Wooster, with pretty much the same type of hijinks as the others. Worth reading as much as any other in the series, but... well, Disdale Landsdon is no Jonathan Cecil. The distinction between character voices is very inconsistent, and half the time he runs words and sentences together so much that during dialog I can't understand where one character's statement ends and the next one's begins. One wonders if this narrator didn't have an appointment immediately after the reading and did it all in one take, leaving in all the parts that ought to have been recorded over. Still, it's useful for a completionist to listen to this one, as some plot regarding the Junior Ganymede Club book and Florence happens, which will probably be alluded to in future installments. Just listen to it on 0.75x speed if you want to understand any of the exchanges between Bertie and Dalia.
