For the thebooksurgeon.blogspot.in P G Wodehouse is the God of humor. There never has been been a subtle humorist and wizard of words and comedy and never will be . Me reviewing a P G Wodehouse book would be only to share with you some of the ROFLMAO moments from the book. If you are looking for lierary criticism of any of his books, silently move away from my blog just now. Of all the books of Wodehouse, my favorite books are based on the characters of Bertie Wooster, Jeeves and the Blandings castle. I shall say this at the end of this review again, buy anyP G Wodehouse book that you can and get home a lifetime of reread of laughter.  

The book Carry on Jeeves is a compilation of events that take place in the lives of feather brained Bertie Wooster and Jeeves, his butler.   Book starts with the entry of Jeeves into Bertie' s life. The stage is set for utter dependence of each aspect of Berties life on Jeeves. Jeeves manages to break the engagement of the eternal bachelor Bertie to Florence. Florence was given to reading books, on these lines "of the two antithetic terms in the Greek philosophy one only was real and self -subsisting, and that one was Ideal Thought as opposed to that which it has to penetrate and mould"..... Or in the words of Bertie "utter tosh".  

By and by Jeeves takes charge of Berties life and his friends thrown in. He also saves Bertie during the invasion of an unbidden guest, Lady Malverns son Motty.   Jeeves also has to use his considerable brain to extricate from the soup, Bicky whose uncle the Duke of Chaswick is analysing minutely to decide whether he needs a stipend or not. And in "the aunt and the sluggard"

Jeeves saves Rocky from an entirely opposite situation.   And so on and so forth inthe rummy affair of old Biffy,without the option, fixing it for creddie, clustering around young bingo, berties changes his mind.  

A brilliant humour from PG Wodehouse.  The books of Wodehouse are the prized possession of my library and I guard them with my life from borrowers. A lifetime of ROFLMAOb
