The eighth and final story was “The Aunt and the Sluggard.” While I enjoyed it, it wasn’t my favorite of the Jeeves stories in this book. I still had a good time with it, though. 3.75 out of 5 stars.

The seventh story on this book was “Doing Clarence a Bit of Good.” I hate to say it, but I didn’t really enjoy it. Once again, the story didn’t feature Jeeves, which was a disappointment. After doing a little bit of research, I understand why, but it’s still a shame since the stories with Jeeves and Birdie seem to be my favorites. I took a peek at the next story they happily return in it. 2.5 stars here.

The fifth story in the book is “Helping Freddie.” Once again, no sign of Jeeves… That being said, I was actually loving the story for about the first half and then it fizzled out for me. Probably 3 out of 5 stars for me.

The fourth story in the book was “Absent Treatment,” and it was the best one so far! It was clever, funny, an even included a twist I didn’t see coming from a mile away. My only issue is that Jeeves wasn’t in it at all! Not even a mention of him! It confused me… Had he been in it, the story would’ve been five stars, but I’ll give it 4.5.

The third story in this book is “Jeeves and the Hard-Boiled Egg.” The more I read it, the more it felt like a comical episode of a television sitcom. I feel like that about all of the stories so far, now that I come to think of it. Four stars! ⭐️

The second story in this book is “Jeeves and the Unbidden Guest.” It’s a fun one that explores Bertie and Jeeves’ relationship while chaos ensues around them. The way Jeeves is able to make everything right again never ceases to amaze me. 4 out of 5 stars.

This is actually a collection of eight Jeeves stories.

The first story was Leave it to Jeeves, and it was fabulous. I absolutely love the dynamic between Bertie and his trusty valet, Jeeves. It was funny, smart and an all-around fun read. I’d rate it 4 out of 5 stars.

I’m excited! I’ve been wanting to read this book for awhile. 😁
