Right Ho, Jeeves

De: P. G. Wodehouse

Narrado por: Kevin Theis

In this early "Jeeves" novel, the infamous Bertie Wooster, rebuffing the assistance of his trusty manservant Jeeves, attempts to help his old chum and newt-fancier Gussie Fink-Nottle win the affections of the goofy but adorable Madeline Bassett. But without Jeeves to lend a hand, chaos ensues, and Bertie finds himself accidentally - and horribly - engaged to Madeline himself.

Right Ho, Jeeves contains a passage described by actor Stephen Fry (a Jeeves and Bertie veteran) as "the single funniest piece of sustained writing in the language".

A much beloved romp by the master of satirical comedy, the legendary P.G. Wodehouse

Rght Ho

This was a hysterical romp through love affairs of the upper crust of the 19Th (or so) centuary.Kevin Theis brings it all to life!I enjoyed every second!I was given this book by the narrator,author or publisher free for an honest review.

a great retelling of a great story!

as a long time fan of Jeeves, i was a bit reluctant to try this audiobook... But the telling of the story was as good as my imagination, the narrator did a fantastic job.

Good Fun!

Right Ho, a review then! Wodehouse’s wonderful romp with the upper end of British society is truly rib-tickling. The characters are hysterically colorful and are brought to life splendidly by Theis. From the stiff Jeeves, to the rotund Tuppy, to the old fox hunter Aunt Dahlia (my personal favorite), to the wonderfully nerdy newt-loving Augustus Finknottle (I dare you to say the name over and over again and not get tongue tied), to the increasingly perplexed narrator Bertie, Theis moves seamlessly from one to the next giving the listener a clear picture of the mayhem at Brinkley Court. If you are in need of a good laugh and enjoy a comedy of errors then I highly recommend this!

Perfection!

If you've read any of Wodehouse's Jeeves books before, you know what to expect. Bertie gets himself into an awful scrape, and Jeeves quietly extricates him from the situation, usually humiliating Bertie a little in the process. It never gets old. I love the Jeeves short story collections, but this full length story really lets Wodehouse plunge into the ridiculousness of it all. In Right Ho, Jeeves, Bertie is convinced Jeeves is losing his touch and decides to solve an old school chum's love problems by himself. Of course Bertie, the lovable goof, makes things worse, and spirals the whole pack of Fink-Nottles, Bassetts, the Market Snodsbury Grammar School, and Milady's Boudoir into a mess only the master of psychology can solve.

I absolutely love Wodehouse's writing. He's a master of language and he uses prose and Bertie's slang to great comedic effect. It's just so much fun to listen to, wonderfully quotable and easy to understand, every line is perfection. If you're feeling just a bit down, a chapter or two of Jeeves and Wooster would be the perfect pick me up. I cannot recommend this book highly enough!

Although I've read the Jeeves books over the years, I've never listened to them narrated before, and I've been missing out. Kevin Theis performed with perfect comedic timing, making me laugh out loud throughout the whole book. His voices for each character were spot on, he even made Gussie sound a bit like a newt. I'm not sure how he managed it, but he did! Wonderful narration, it was very good, sir.

I requested a copy of the audiobook, and I'm voluntarily leaving a review.

Wow

I received a free copy of Right Ho, Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse, and narrated by Kevin Theis in exchange for an unbiased review. This review copy Audio Book was provided by the author/narrator/publisher free of charge via Audio Book Boom.

Over the years, I have read Jeeves and enjoyed the stories very much, but listening to Jeeves for the first time on Audible was a real treat. Kevin Theis brought this story to life. Each characters voice was unique, and the narrator read each character changing voices as he read without missing a beat. It's safe to say Kevin Theis is my new favorite narrator.
