Pretty good for what it is I suppose. Somewhat repetitive from story to story, and certainly far from profound, but it made me laugh. The situations that Bertie and Bingo and Jeeves got tangled up in were fairly creative and funny. The writing had a good tempo, the stories moved along at a good pace. I loved the tone of Bertie, the narrator, and the fact that he's a bit of a bumbler - rich enough where he doesn't have to worry about real problems, but always relying on Jeeves to get him out of the social tension he gets mixed up in. He speaks with the easy fluidity of the upper class, but with enough naiveté that you don't hate him for it.
