(4.7 stars; 743 reviews)


Bertram Wooster's manservant, Jeeves, is renown for his ability to apply his keen intellect to solve all problems domestic, and Bertie's friends and relatives flock to him for his counsel. But Wooster, jealous of Jeeves's fame, decides to step in and take over as the fixer of his pal's engagement, his aunt's gambling debts and old school-mate's desire to propose marriage. How far will Bertie sink them all in the soup? Will Jeeves come to the rescue? "Right Ho, Jeeves" features of course Bertie and Jeeves as well as Gussie Fink-Nottle, Tuppie Glossop, Aunt Dahlia and Anatole the high-strung French chef in this P.G. Wodehouse farce of England's upper crust. (Summary by Mark Nelson)

Reviews

amazing book, amazing reading

(5 stars)

Mark Nelson has given the best reading I've had the pleasure to listen to on LibriVox. It doesn't hurt that the book in question is one of the funniest ever written. Wodehouse really brought all of his best elements together in this one. The final resolution had my crying with laughter. And Mark's character voices are so spot on and fitting. Most readers that try to voice the characters always fall flat to my ear and are grotesquely over done. Mark brings these books to life with a subtleness that doesn't interfere whatsoever with the story. I have already shared this exquisite reading with several friends. I only wish Mark would do the entire Bertie and Jeeves series of books. It might be heresy to some but I prefer Mark's take on the characters over Fry and Laurie's characterizations. I can't recommend this LibriVox reading enough. If you enjoy English humor you owe it to yourself to give this classic a listen.

Right Ho is Right On!

(5 stars)

Absolutely delightful book. Great, witty dialogue, fun plot line, and most of all, the unflappable Jeeves, solver of every problem. I listened to this book from Libre Vox, and the reader was fantastic. If you are a fan of Wooster and Jeeves,i highly recommend this book!

Excellent book

(5 stars)

Another Jeeves adventure. Bertie tries to solve his relatives' many problems but just can't seem to keep himself from making them worse. Thank goodness he has Jeeves to pull his bacon out of the fire. Funny and enjoyable book, you will be adding this one to your favorites. Reader is also excellent.

hillarious old bean, what?

(5 stars)

A classic srory that will have you laughing from the beginning of chapter 1, then hitting pause by 2/3 the way through because you're laughing so loudly, you're missing parts of the tale. Superbly read, a pleasure from start to finish. You owe it to yourself to drink this tale in old boy...toodle pip.

Right Ho, Jeeves

(5 stars)

Well read, which makes a huge difference in the telling of a thing! This witty little book is perfect for an escape. Set in the 20s it's a more humorous Downton Abby, in a sense!

Dashed good book! What!

(5 stars)

Very funny book, and well read. I dare say Fry & Laurie were pretty true to the stories. Wodehouse is equally, if not more entertaining than the tv show. Right Ho, Wodehouse!

(5 stars)

This is a review of both the text and of Mark Nelson’s recording of the text. For me, what makes Wodehouse worth reading is the playful, brilliant way he put words together and created multi-dimensional characters who, in lesser hands, would be simple caricatures or cartoons. Wodehouse is a delight to read—and thanks to Mark Nelson, to listen to, as well. I have listened to a few other LibriVox recording with very good to excellent readers, but I think Mark Nelson’s interpretive reading of the Wooster and Jeeves stories is a cut above. He reads these stories as if he is channeling Wodehouse. At the same time, he gets out of the way of the stories and allows the writing to shine.

Such fun

(4 stars)

I'm a great lover of PG Wodehouse and try to listen to everything I can on LibriVox. I had seen this one played out on PBS Jeeves and Wooster series on TV, but listening carefully to the wonderful word play that wodehouse is so talented at, made this very much fun. It does get a bit slow in the middle with the relationship debacles, and I wished it would have progressed a bit faster there, but the end is so wonderful, and Jeeves such a wonderful guy. And what can you say about the wonderful Mark Nelson who does such an amazing job as a reader to bring the story to life.
