#22: The Code of the Woosters

My friend Jane in Ohio told me about PG Wodehouse and the Wooster/Jeeves books a long time ago.  I had forgot to check into them until I read another book that mentioned them.  The book The Code of the Woosters was mentioned in a secret society book I read awhile back.  I thought I would try it as my first Wodehouse read.

I didn't realize until I added it on Goodreads that it was book 7 in the series.  The other reviews said it would be fine to read on it's own and it was.  It was a little slow going at first, but about 1/4 in I really started enjoying the characters and the shenanigans they got into.  Most of the story revolved around the possible theft of a cow creamer.  Later in the story other stolen items come up.  It has some satirical humor and crazy detective work.  I would really like to learn more about Wooster and Jeeves and plan to read some other books in this series soon.

Up Next:  Lila by Marilynne Robinson
