Narrative In Favor Of Books Wake Up, Sir!

From the creator of the HBO series Bored to Death, the story of a young alcoholic writer and his personal valet, a hilarious homage to the Bertie and Jeeves novels of P.G. Wodehouse.

Alan Blair, the hero of Wake Up, Sir!, is a young, loony writer with numerous problems of the mental, emotional, sexual, spiritual, and physical variety. He's very good at problems. But luckily for Alan, he has a personal valet named Jeeves, who does his best to sort things out for his troubled master. And Alan does find trouble wherever he goes. He embarks on a perilous and bizarre road journey, his destination being an artists colony in Saratoga Springs. There Alan encounters a gorgeous femme fatale who is in possession of the most spectacular nose in the history of noses. Such a nose can only lead to a wild disaster for someone like Alan, and Jeeves tries to help him, but...well, read the book and find out!

Judge About Books Wake Up, Sir!

An alcoholic, self-absorbed Jewish writer gets into various scrapes, many sexual in character, as he heads off for a stay at an artists' colony; this is pretty much the type specimen plot for an American novel set in the late 20th century. Except that here our narrator has recently taken on a valet named Jeeves... It's obvious almost from the off that - like so many characters nowadays - Jeeves is more than likely the protagonist's hallucination (though we are at least spared the scene where

Ridiculously funny!!!!Frankly speaking, it's a bit difficult to get into the story at the beginning and the plot seems to be lacking in consistency but it changes when you get over the first 80 pages. Anyway, the book is so funny and clever, you simply cannot stop laughing out loud as you read it. Spontaneous uncontrollable laughter. Somehow Alan reminded me of Adrian Mole but with a different background. The verdict: absolutely worth reading! The book's really very good.

The best time I ever had reading a book. Laughed hard and often. I will be reading more of Ames in the future.

Being a big Wodehouse fan, I was intrigued by the book's premise but also wary. The first thing to say is that, although obviously intended as a homage to Wodehouse, the use of the relationship between the ditzy alcoholic Jewish writer and his valet who just happens to be called Jeeves (although he also acts and speaks like the original) is somewhat superfluous to the rest of the novel. Jeeves plays little or no part in the plot other than being a sounding-board for the haphazardly quirky ideas

while this book wasn't bad, I don't really need to read another book by a boy about a boy having boy problems, you know?

Entertainingly wacky.

I expected more hilarity. Maybe I just didn't get it! I'll try another Ames at a later date, perhaps I wasn't in the right frame of mind this go. I didn't hate it, there were a few points in which I chuckled, but overall it didn't live up to my expectations.
