This beautiful five-volume series of the Jeeves stories is rather impractical, really! The stories were designed to be light and enjoyable, and instead here you're being asked to lug a bulky tome around with you on the train. It also seems odd not to include the books in chronological order. Still, if you can overcome this litany of horrors, you can't go wrong.

Omnibus #1 contains two of the absolute funniest novels: Thank You, Jeeves and The Code of the Woosters, as well as a very funny short story collection The Inimitable Jeeves. ( )

Thank You Jeeves – Jeeves tenders his resignation over Bertie’s plan to move to the country to continue his (unappreciated) endeavours on the banjolele; there are lovers tiffs and crusty old relatives aplently, and it seems to be heading for a ripping J & W yarn. Unfortunately, the phrase “nigger minstrels” crops up more than once, and to modern sensibilities it jars horribly. Then Bertie and another character spend a large portion of the action covered in boot polish or burnt cork in emulation of these performers. It leaves a nasty taste in the mouth.
The Code of the Woosters – arguably one of the best of the Jeeves and Wooster series, involving cow-creamers, star-crossed lovers, and the ersatz-Mosely leader of The Black Shorts (they ran out of shirts when creating their look!). Full of hilarity and misunderstandings, with Jeeves saving the day, as usual. Excellent stuff.
The Inimitable Jeeves - a loosely linked collection of short storieswith all the usual Jeeves and Wooster mishaps and eccentric characters. Very good for a cheery pick-me-up! ( )

Very easy reading, and delightful use of the language. Seems effortless, but really well crafted and enjoyable stories.See why there are so many fans fo P.G.Wodehouse ( )

Reviewing anthologies or collections always makes me feel a bit mean. Usually there is a weak link that drags the book down and leads to the other works to be misrepresented.

I don't think I need to add anymore to the discussion about how Wodehouse is a genius. Finest writer and all that. All I want to do is reassure you that buying the Omnibus is not a false economy. It's all brilliant. ( )
