Alex Cabe reviewed The Inimitable Jeeves by P. G. Wodehouse
Very Well Crafted, Had Trouble Clicking With It
4 stars
This is one of those books where me rating it highly is more a matter of recognizing it's well crafted that feeling fully bought in. The characters were funny and the language was very artfully crafted, but I still had trouble feeling excited about it for some reason.
I do enjoy that there's a little edge to the entire situation. Jeeves is a thousand times more competent than Wooster. Is the class system just so powerful that this is the best Jeeves can do, or is Jeeves in it just because it's easy and he enjoys messing with Bertie?
No big urge to jump into another one, but I will revisit when I'm in a different mood.
