My Man Jeeves is comprised of eight short stories. Four of them feature Jeeves, four do not. All of the stories were entertaining, but I liked the once that featured Jeeves much better, and I wish the whole book had contained stories in which he was a character. This collection reminded me of Bl...

I'd prefer to give a divided rating for this divided book. Three stars for the first 3/4 of it, and five stars for the last quarter, when it ceases to be fairly interesting but mostly disconnected vignettes, placesetting, and character introduction, and finally becomes a cohesive story with plot mov...

As part of LibraryThing's wonderful Early Reviewers program, I was able to get a copy of Hugh Laurie's The Gun Seller. You probably know Hugh Laurie as "House", from the TV show. He's also a musician (has a blues CD out), and, apparently, a novelist as well. I was initially surprised to find it wa...
I first heard of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell when I was prepping advance copies of the book and set off the smoke alarm with the wax seal we used on the wrappers. I tried to read it back then but could not get past the first few pages because I got distracted by the footnotes. However, JS & Mr...
Hmm.This book is a LOT different when you read it as an old, embittered adult versus when you read it as a cynical-yet-nearly-immortal teenager.It's both more hilarious - because, come on, all the work involved in keeping The Party and everything else going? That is...SO MUCH WORK! And humans are so...
I was pleasantly surprised with this one from Hugh Laurie. I got this one as an audio book and enjoyed it quite a bit even though the over the top sarcastic English wit did grind on me after a while and the story got a bit confusing for the last 25 percent. (To be fair, had I been reading the book i...
