Jeeves and the Leap of Faith

[Schott] captures the style of the Master very well indeed. He follows Jeeves And The King of Clubs with a glorious romp … a splendidly jolly read. * Daily Express *Once again pastiche perfect. – Ian Sansom’s book of the year * Times Literary Supplement *Captures PG Wodehouse’s style very well. * Daily Mirror *A combination of the old and new, done with panache and wit … Schott’s new novel is a hugely welcome one, and deserves to soar up the Christmas bestseller lists. * The Critic *Ben Schott’s second Jeeves and Wooster book proves an enjoyable continuation of PG Wodehouse’s classic characters. Schott writes in a distinctive style that is somewhere between homage and postmodern response, and his story … is more eventful and action-packed than Wodehouse would ever have countenanced. And it ends on a splendid cliff hanger. * Observer *This homage to P.G. Wodehouse is so good that a blind reading (i.e. a genuine ‘Plum’ versus Schott’s pastiche) would be a tricky call. Everything is in its place: Jeeves shimmers, aunts scheme, Drones drone. Even the style is spot-on: the erudition of Schott’s various Miscellanies finds expression as similes and quotations of hilarious ingenuity … the sheer luxury, wealth and self-assurance of Bertie’s world is brilliantly evoked with all its enviable light-heartedness intact. A masterpiece in every sense. * Daily Mail *In times of stress, there’s nothing like an outing with Bertram Wilberforce Wooster. A very creditable and uplifting homage to the master. * Saga Magazine *
