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.)

Synopsis (from the Book Depository): 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.
Overall Impression: I’m running out of things to say in my reviews of PG Wodehouse’s brilliant books. The words hilarious, romp, madcap, satire, delicious, snappy dialogue, devilish…they are all getting worn out. But his books really are all of these things! And Right Ho, Jeeves is even more so these things than other Wodehouse books. I utterly adored it, and spent a lot of time giggling over the superb writing. The way Wodehouse words things…ah! It’s amazing. My words are crap compared to his.
Narration: Jonathan Cecil is magnificent. I haven’t listened to any Wodehouse read by anyone else, and I’m not sure I could. Cecil has become Jeeves and Wooster in my head, and when I read the paper versions of the books, Cecil does the narration there too. He manages to capture the essence of the stories. He’s brilliant!
Positives: Wodehouse is the cat’s pajamas. ‘Nuff said.
Negatives: None, really. This is officially one of my favorite Jeeves and Wooster stories of all time.

Other blogger opinions:
Michelle (My Books. My Life.): “It’s hard to review this book because you really have to experience the madness to appreciate it.”
Maya Alexandri: “Many other writers would have shown such a juicy squabble, but Wodehouse opts to alternate between showing and telling.
Vulpres Libris: “Wodehouse is not a revolutionary writer; he is an insider, poking affectionate fun at a system he knew intimately.”
