P.G. Wodehouse : Ring for Jeeves before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Ring for Jeeves:

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. sans WoosterBy HTI've been slowly working my way through the Jeeves and Wooster catalog and came across this interesting gem. If you've wanted to see what a Jeeves and Wooster book is like when Jeeves is given more room to be "Jeeves", this is a book for you. While Bertie is at a school learning to become more self-reliant Jeeves hires out to another Bertie-like character, Bill the Ninth Earl of Rowcester, who owns a large country home but is house poor. Bill embarks on a scheme to become a bookie which goes well until Captain Biggar makes a killing on a double and wants his payout. All will go well if they can sell the house to Mrs. Spotsworth, a rich widow from America, who loves Captain Biggar who.... Well you see - classic P.G. Wodehouse setup.This story has Jeeves in rare form with his quotations and observations that are rarely cut off as Bertie often does. Also, Jeeves doesn't disappear through the middle of the book while the protagonist gets deeper and deeper.Instead this is quite different in that Jeeves actually dons a disguise and assists Bill in his book-making. Also, many of Jeeves' plans don't come through. Another big difference from the Bertie books is the intrusion of the real world on the story. Most, if not all, of the other Jeeves books could be written about any time from the end of World War I and the present. But this is clearly set in 1953, when England is not doing very well at all after World War II. The Earl of Rowcester has clearly fallen on hard times and references are made to other of the upper class having problems. Heck even Bertie is mentioned; he is off to a school to learn how to darn socks, cook for himself, and what- not in the event that he can't keep Jeeves as his Gentleman's Gentleman at some time in the future.But in the end Bertie is expelled from his school for having a local woman do his homework of sock darning and Jeeves heads back.All-in- all a very different Jeeves story.11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. A strong entry in the Wodehouse canonBy The Ginger ManThirty years or so ago, I wandered into a pharmacy in Peabody, Massachusets during a lunch break from a new job. I picked up by Wodehouse for a dollar and began reading. That was one of those small turning points in life which can change and enrich all that comes afterwards.According to the Wodehouse website, "Plum" has written 99 books. That is about 2 to read per year for your adult life. They can come to resemble each other so closely that after 50 or so, you begin to suspect that you have already read the one you are about to finish sometime 5 or 10 years earlier. But it doesn't matter. What is important is the immersion into characterized by quiet contentment, eccentric but likeable people, harmless foils and genuinely absurd twists of plot. Above all is the Wodehouse use of language. No one writes or ever will write humorous dialogue better. I don't ordinarily read books of humor because, due to a likely but undetectable character defect, I do not find them funny. (The reviewer on the back cover describes knee-slapping hilarity. I work to muster a smile.) But I find the best of Wodehouse universally funny and the worst of Wodehouse forgiveable and still worth the time.Ring for Jeeves is missing Wooster but it is fun to see Jeeves as the straight man to someone else. The humor is often provided by the red faced Captain Biggar who can't quite make the transition from equatorial African safari to English country house. In this post Victorian world of England in decline but seemingly untouched by continental wars, the ninth Earl of Rowcester is trying to sell his crumbling castle to a rich American. The path to inevitable happiness is less than smooth.If you have finished most of the Jeeves and books but have yet to wade into earlier Wodehouse efforts, pick up this book. Written in 1953 (his 74th effort) near the height of his powers, Ring for Jeeves is unlikely to disappoint.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Must ListBy frickfracker56Not like the other Jeeves books without Woster, but still an entertaining read.

Bill, (Lord) Rowcester was well and truly in the gumbo. With the benefit of hindsight he could see that setting himself up as a Silver Ring bookie might not have been his smartest move ever. Particularly when being down on his dibbs threatens his oncoming nuptials with the sterling Jill Wyvern. Lucky for Bill he had the land-lease of Jeeves. Lucky indeed that the fish-fed mastermind's formidable genius was at liberty to take a header into such teasers as borrowing the stellar Mrs Spottsworth's pendent for an hour or three or overseeing the added ingredients of Abbey's Derby Dinner, to say nothing of his lordship's mauve pyjamas.
