Summary: Classic Wodehouse giving classic Wooster
Comment: "Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves" is an example of Wodehouse at his best - to paraphrase Evelyn Waugh, cramming three original similes onto every page. The book continues the saga of the Wooster / Bassett / Fink-Nottle "love triangle", and Wodehouse as ever handles the problem of filling in new readers with aplomb (though it is undoubtedly better to have read the preceding volumes - after all, why wouldn't you want to read the preceding volumes?). Bertie is once again at Totleigh Towers where "only man is vile", desperately trying to avoid imprisonment, dismemberment at the hands of Spode (now under the alias of Lord Sidcup) while failing spectacularly to act as raisonneur to the Madeleine / Gussie relationship -which now appears to be floundering on the insurmountable obstacle of vegetarianism. Bertie gets some good one-liners, and the dialogue is excellent as always. Though writen post-war, after what many consider the Wodehouse golden-age of the 1930s, this remains an example of Wodehouse at his best.

Summary: Jeeves & Bertie #11
Comment: Previous: How Right You Are, Jeeves (Jeeves in the Offing)
This volume of the series sees young Bertram Wooster deeper in the soup than ever before, when his desperate measures to salvage the floundering Fink-Nottle/Bassett romance fail utterly. Although Jeeves's solutions are always brilliant, this one is probably the most ingenious (and for a moment, shocking) of them all. While the plot is beginning to feel a bit contrived (it is, after all, basically the same as all the others), there are always enough eccentric characters (notably Captain Plank, who has Bertie nailed as a villain named Alpine Joe), lively interaction between the two principals (this time over a blue alpine hat with a pink feather), and wonderful, Woosterian language to keep us laughing along the way. Not the best of the lot, but certainly good enough!
Next: Jeeves and the Tie that Binds (Much Obliged, Jeeves)
Rating: 5
Summary: Bertie Wooster a.k.a. Alpine Joe is in the soup again
Comment: Bertie Wooster, equipped with alpine hat, is in trouble again. He must again travel to the dreaded Totleigh Towers to patch up the engagement between Gussie Fink-Nottle and Madeline Basset, lest he be forced to fill the vacancy. Great fun! Contains the same wonderful cast of characters we've come to know and laugh at as in "The Code of the Woosters," the ever-dangerous Roderick Spode, the magistrate Sir Watkyn Basset, the oozing Madeline Basset, the capricious Stiffy, her would-be husband, "Stinker" Pinker, and her carniverous dog, Bartholomew. Jeeves' indomitable wisdom and wit will be tested to the utmost.
