Summary
Gussie Fink-Nottle's knowledge of the common newt is unparalleled. Drop him in a pond of newts and his behaviour will be exemplary, but introduce him to a girl and watch him turn pink, yammer, and suddenly stampede for great open spaces. Even with Madeline Bassett, who feels that the stars are God's daisy chain, his tongue is tied in reef-knots. And his chum Tuppy Glossop isn't getting on much better with Madeline's delectable friend Angela.
With so many broken hearts lying about him, Bertie Wooster can't sit idly by. The happiness of a pal - two pals, in fact - is at stake. But somehow Bertie's best-laid plans land everyone in the soup, and so it's just as well that Jeeves is ever at hand to apply his bulging brains to the problems of young love. Along with The Code of the Woosters, Right Ho, Jeeves is considered by many his finest comic novel - and perhaps the finest in the English language.

One of Wodehouse's best
The drunken school speech is a classic of comedic writing, and is the jewel in this brilliantly funny novel.

Well read, dodgy sound
The story is, as all Jeeves-boks, funny and well written. The narration is excellent. But, the varying sound quality is rather annoying.

Jonathan Cecil does it again
Brilliant reading of the hilarious novel. Cecil is the voice of Jeeves and Wooster.
I am not sure of the date of these recordings but there is a sense of them being rather old which adds to the atmosphere.

Vintage Wodehouse, mostly excellent narration
Anyone wanting an introduction to Jeeves and Wooster could do no better than begin right here: classic stuff, from the imperious Aunt Dahlia to the hapless school chum Fink-Nottle, this will have you laughing out loud from start to finish. Jonathan Cecil does a mostly splendid job of the narration - however, his Bertie Wooster voice changes slightly about halfway through, becoming several tones deeper and slightly closer to that of Jeeves, which is confusing and jarring. Overall, though, a wonderful performance delivered with brio.

Fabulous Story
Well up to scratch for Wodehouse and entertainingly read. Only negative was the tone of the recording room markedly changing mid chapter on several occasions.

The very best Wodehouse book.
What's not to love? Simply side splitting and Cecil at his brilliant best. Don't think about it, just buy it and enjoy

I cried with laughter
P.G. Wodehouse is of course a comic genius and Jonathon Cecil reads brilliantly and gets the very most from the writing. The scene where Gussie delivers his speech at the school prize giving is an utter joy.

Another Great
Another great Jeeves book with Bertie, Jeeves, Aunt Travers, Gussie, Glossop, Angela, The Bassett. I always enjoy listening to these books often and repeatedly and this is no exception. Wodehouse and read by Cecil just completes any day. As said by others the audio comes in and out regularly, but I did get used to it as I presumed it would happen at any moment. It's not great but it can be lived with, mostly.

Incredible
This is one of the best audio books around! Very funny and a classic PG Wodehouse story line. If you are considering buying it then I suggest that you buy it strait away without another thought.
