Story4.5 out of 5 stars 110
My Man Jeeves, first published in 1919, introduced the world to affable, indolent Bertie Wooster and his precise, capable valet, Jeeves. Some of the finest examples of humorous writing found in English literature are woven around the relationship between these two men of very different classes and temperaments. Where Bertie is impetuous and feeble, Jeeves is coolheaded and poised.

Story5 out of 5 stars 19
From the moment that Jeeves walks through Bertie Wooster's door, Bertie gives up running his own affairs and lets Jeeves take charge. Whether it's the color of a tie, the style of a hat or a coat, Jeeves is always right. He is there to depend on in times of trouble, and such times are frequent in the lives of Bertie and his friends. Whether it's Corky's artistic career that needs boosting or Bingo Little's gloom that needs lifting, Jeeves can always be relied upon.

We find ourselves in the austerity of the 1950s, when England's aristocracy was feeling the pinch. Bertie Wooster has gone to a residential self-help school to learn how to darn his socks. Until he re-emerges, Jeeves has signed up with Bill Rowcester (pronounced Roaster), an earl who is failing to make ends meet in trade, and yearning to sell his stately home, which has charm and damp in equal measure. In his new environment Jeeves is required to exert his mammoth brain to what would be breaking point for any normal intellect.

On doctor's orders, Bertie Wooster retires to sample the bucolic delights of Maiden Eggesford. But his idyll is rudely shattered by Aunt Dahlia who wants him to nobble a racehorse. Similar blots on Bertie's horizon come in the shape of Major Plank, the African explorer, Vanessa Cook, proud beauty and "molder of men," and Orlo Porter who seems to have nothing else to do but think of sundering Bertie's head from his body.

laugh out loud
i've read a handful of the jeeves/wooster books, a couple of the blandings adventures, plus a miscellaneous story or two, and it may just be possible that mr. woodhouse only has a dozen or so story lines and it soesn't matter a bit. he is fantastic.
this is my first 'listen' to one of his books and it went quite well (although people look at you out of the corners of their respective eyes when you burst out laughing in public places for no apparent reason, dash it all!)
the reader was good, maybe very good. occasionally he mixed a characer or two, and his impression of an american accent is, well, enlightening.
at some point i think i am just going to go to the very beginning of wodehouse's work and read them straight through.
as usual, format two worked fine for me.
cheers.

Applause all around
Upon finding out that Audible has Jeeves and Wooster recording, I jumped at the opportunity to download one. I was not disappointed in the least. I am enjoying this recording very much and I look forward to getting other ones. My only complaint is finding them in order so you can go from recording to recording. But what I have found so far, has brought me much laughter and relaxation.

Good recording with minor flaws
This set of charming, short stories mostly relate to the Jeeves and Bertie efforts to help Bertie's friend Bingo Little out of the soup. The writing is breezy and hilarious, typical P.G. Wodehouse, with a chatty, conversational style that suits the air-headed but well-meaning Bertie Wooster.
The narration is good and solid, with some very nice voice acting between characters. The reader makes a great Bertie. (The American accent, as mentioned by another reviewer, really is an experience.)
It downloads as one solid block, which is annoying given that you have to search to get to the chapter you want. Also, there is an oddly metallic quality to the recording, and the volume between sections wavers. However, unless you're an audiophile, this isn't too much of a distraction once you get used to it.
All in all a good recording, and worth purchasing for any Wodehouse fan.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
The Inimitable Jeeves ??? Woodhouse
Audio version performed by Jonathan Cecil
4 stars
This is the second Jeeves book in the series. Each chapter is like a short story organized around recurring characters and returning several times to the romances of Bingo Little. Bertie takes a brief trip to New York City which allows Woodhouse to direct some wonderful word play and satire at Americans. Jonathan Cecil provides six hours of entertaining ear candy.

I dare you not to love it.
Would you consider the audio edition of The Inimitable Jeeves to be better than the print version?
Equally good
What other book might you compare The Inimitable Jeeves to and why?
Any of the Jeeves and Wooster novels
What about Jonathan Cecil’s performance did you like?
Everything. He brought the characters to life.
If you could rename The Inimitable Jeeves, what would you call it?
Why mess with perfection?

This is one of the very best Jeeves books--several delightful stories/subplots woven together just enough to have you comfortably swinging in the Wooster hammock from the first few pages through the very last. Jonathan Cecil is the best of the Bertie/Jeeves readers I've found so far: the perfect balance of boldness and restraint in his voices & performances, perfect pacing.
