I knew this wasn't going to be good before I read it, but I didn't think it would be this bad. It's a collection of [[P. G. Wodehouse]] pastiches in which Jeeves and/or Bertie Wooster encounter literary or pop culture figures or get involved in situations based off of literary works (the first story is a nod to The Metamorphosis in which Bertie transforms into a parakeet and there's a Scandal in Bohemia story that pretty much just changes the names and setting). Don't make the mistake of thinking any of these stories will be funny or clever. They aren't, and some of them barely even qualify as stories as nothing much happens in them except an encounter with some other famous character.… (altro)

I don't know why I didn't review this immediately after I finished it because I loved it. I'm a word nerd, and any world where words and literature are as important as they are in this one is all right by me! I didn't read it for the story, although I found myself intrigued, but the use of words and the characterization charmed me. I took Ivy very seriously and would love to know what happens in her life next.

It’s times like this that I wish I was still teaching. This book would definitely have been on my list of acceptable books for book reports. I might even have purchased a classroom set! The book is absolutely brilliant! After reading a few lines, I almost deleted it. Something told me not to do that and I’ll be forever thankful to Something. This book was seriously funny. The mix of the old and new kept me in stitches. I dare you to read this and not laugh out loud.

Poor example of parody to say the least. Pathetic attempt.
