Review # 1 was written on 2020-01-13 00:00:00 Ray Carnell One of the earlier books of the series The Code of the Woosters takes place in Totleigh Towers. Sufficient to say after Bertie Wooster was done with the place its inhabitants surely realized their lives were excellent provided our hero stays as far from them as possible. From his side Bertie was not too crazy about his experience either. So it was no wonder that when his pal 'Stinker' Pinker asked him to go there to help with one of his (and his fiancée) problems Bertie flatly refused. However when Bertie met his other pal Gussie Fink-Nottle he realized he cannot afford not to go. Gussie was engaged to Madeline who having had the wrong impression the Bertie was madly in love with her promised him that if even her engagement with Gussie would be broken she marries Bertie. The latter did his best to prevent this from ever happening, but this time Madeline became a hardcore vegetarian (I guess vegans did not exist at that time in Great Britain - and I am envious). This was too much for poor Gussie and I completely understand poor guy. One anecdote from my personal experience follows, sorry about it. My whole life I did not care if I had meat or not for my meal until I had a misfortune to be invited to a vegan party. To make a long story short only a great amount of alcohol saved me that time. These vegans made me realize life without meat is boring and miserable. Coming back to the story Bertie came to Totleigh Towers bringing the usual mayhem with him. There were times when I thought even Jeeves would not be able to help poor guy. As anybody who read The Code of the Woosters which I mentioned before knows the population of that place consists of colorful and highly amusing characters. This time they were all back with the vengeance. Two scenes stand up in my mind. First - the obvious one - the reaction of these characters upon seeing Bertie in flesh. The second one was Bertie's misadventures with a grandfather's clock when he decided to visit a kitchen at night; it also involved this guy below: Both made me laugh out loud. The rest of the book was quite amusing, but not quite on the level with these two parts. Speaking about which they absolutely decided the rating: 4 stars as opposed to 3 the rest of the books deserve. Some random observations at the end. Bertie was reading a book by Erle Stanley Gardner. This in my opinion showed his good taste in books. I was unconditionally on Gussie's side in his great debate on vegetarianism. As such I was happy with the way things turned out for him at the end. On the related note other person got exactly what he was asking for from an earlier book of the series. Amen!

Review # 2 was written on 2017-07-24 00:00:00 Kevin Jones Bertie Wooster is back at Totleigh Towers fighting off the threat of marriage with dippy Madeline Bassett in the charmingly delightful Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves. Good ol' school chum Gussie Fink-Nottle's engagement to Madeline is all that's saving Bertie from a future strapped to a sap. A forced vegetarian diet could tip the scales! (The horror is readily apparent all over newt fancier Fink-Nottle's map.) Stiffy Byng, Stinker Pinker, Sir Watkyn Bassett and a bevy of other recurring characters show up to create the usual havoc that is constantly disturbing Wooster's gay bachelor life. Lucky for them they have a Jeeves in their lives to straighten it all out. Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves is the same old Wodehouse fare, but even more so! In fact, I would go so far as to call this The Code of the Woosters, Part 2. It's got most all of the same characters. The plot is not terribly dissimilar. It never reaches the quality of Code, but then few of Wodehouse's books do. Perhaps there was an aspiration to repeat the success of Code, but Stiff lacks the same panache. It meanders. It chats. Whereas Code got into it, got things moving. Stiff also relies somewhat on the reader being familiar with the characters and their past. Honestly this book is for people already familiar with the Totleigh Towers world.
