The Inimitable Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse

In a new series entitled “Bookstagram Made Me Read It”, I read The Inimitable Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse! To backtrack in time a little, I stumbled across a copy of Jeeves in the Yule-tide Spirit in the library last November. At the same time, I found the Four Weeks of Wodehouse challenge on Instagram. I completely missed the challenge, of course, but I ended up being really interested in the Wodehouse stories. One of the recommendations I found, from Trinna Writes, was The Inimitable Jeeves.

The Inimitable Jeeves is a collection of connected stories that revolve around Bertie, Jeeves, and more often than not, Bingo Little. Bingo has a very bad habit of falling in love with random women and enlisting Bertie to help him.

This was such a fun collection, as I’ve come to expect from Jeeves and Bertie. Bertie, as airheaded as he can be, would have a much more peaceful life if it weren’t for the people he knows. Apart from Bingo, the book also introduces Claude and Eustace, two truly horrific cousins of Bertie who gleefully pull him into their schemes. It’s a wonder that Jeeves manages to keep all of them in hand.

There’s not much to say about this – it’s a fun read and I finished it basically in one sitting. If you ever feel like you need a laugh, I definitely recommend this and the other Jeeves stories.
