Book the oneth

Jeeves and the Wedding Bells, by Sebastian Faulks. I was largely unimpressed by Birdsong, (review available on clicking author tag) and so this author was never going to be an easy sell. Writing another "official" Wodehouse doesn't really help; he does a good job of style, and there's an interesting set-up (at the start of the novel, Jeeves is pretending to be a peer of the realm while Bertie is below stairs as his gentleman's gentleman) with a reasonable number of complications that then completely fails to lift off into the elevated heights of farce required to really work as a Wodehouse novel - and the end falls rather flat.
