Thanks for stopping by! I'm Cori and I'm happy you've found your way here. If you're wondering why my blog is called "Let's Eat Grandpa," it's an old grammar joke: Let's eat, grandpa! Let's eat grandpa! (Punctuation saves lives.) 
Jeeves in the Morning (published as Joy in the Morning in the UK) by PG Wodehouse, read by Jonathan Cecil
Read: in my ongoing effort to read everything ever written by the incomparable PG Wodehouse (Overlook Press, 296 pages)
Rating: 9 out of 10 (finished 1/29/10)
Synopsis: Trapped in the rural hell-hole of the Steeple Bumpleigh with his bossy ex-fiancee, Florence Craye, her fire-breathing father, Lord Worplesdon, her frightful Boy-Scout brother, Edwin, and her beefy new betrothed, ‘Stilton’ Cheesewright, Bertie Wooster finds himself walking a diplomatic tightrope. With Florence threatening to ditch Stilton for Bertie, and Stilton threatening to trample on Bertie’s insides if she does, things look black until Jeeves arrives to save the day. One of Wodehouse’s most sparkling comedies, replete with an attendant cast of tyrannical aunts, demon children and literary fatheads.
Overall Impression: If you’ve never read PG Wodehouse, please do yourself a favor and go out and get one of his books. This one in particular would be an excellent place to start. It involves some of my favorite characters in the Jeeves and Wooster universe — Boko Fittleworth, Nobby Hopwood, Edwin the Boy Scout, Stilton Cheesewright . . . not to mention Jeeves and Wooster themselves. Wodehouse is a master of humor, plot, and character (seriously, those names! Brilliant! And I didn’t even mention J Chichister Clam!), and I’ve yet to come across anyone who writes the way he does. And the dialogue — I can honestly say that every sentence is a delight. Wodehouse weaves together a hilarious, ridiculous plot that dips and turns and has each of the characters in different scrapes, out of which they must escape — almost always with Jeeves’ expert help. Accidental engagements! Business deals in the potting shed! A pinched policeman’s uniform! A fancy costume ball! Wodehouse is a master at writing these little farcical gems, and Jeeves in the Morning is easily in my top three of his works that I’ve read. Jonathan Cecil is an excellent reader for Wodehouse’s work — I’m looking forward to listening to more by him.
Pros: Everything! Crazy plot, memorable characters, fantastic dialogue, etc. etc. etc. Wodehouse is amazing.
Cons: It ended way too soon.
Other books I’ve read by PG Wodehouse: My Man Jeeves, Bertie Wooster Sees it Through, Do Butlers Burgle Banks?, A Gentleman of Leisure, Code of the Woosters (this is my favorite), Jeeves and the Tie that Binds, Girls Pearls and Monty Bodkin
Other books I’ve listened to by Jonathan Cecil: none
