Dated, but very witty. Rich brat gets rescued from any situation by perfect butler. His rich brat friends, too. The delight is in the dialogue - the deadpan remarks of butler Jeeves, the cheerful naiveté of rich Bertie and his many silly friends, all good for nothings who rely on stipends of rich uncles, which they invariably stand to lose.
I listened to the audiobook narrated by Simon Prebble, who does a great job as a voice actor. A second book Narrated by someone else was only half as charming.
Great little plots, too. Often surprising.
Dated because women will aways be a riddle to men etc. but who cares. I have chuckled a lot.
And I need to get a paper copy of the collected works to enjoy the language better.
