Story
For George Finch, one of "Nature's white mice" and probably the worst artist ever to put brush to canvas, there are many obstacles to overcome. Undoubtedly the greatest is his beloved Molly's fearsome stepmother, Mrs. Waddington, who has her eye on an eligible English lord for a son-in-law. Luckily, George has an ally in sharp-witted Hamilton Beamish, an old family friend of the Waddingtons.

The Code of the Woosters is one of the best known of Wodehouse's Bertie and Jeeves series.

Funniest Book & Performance EVER!
Using all humor-devices at his disposal, Wodehouse delivers a truly timeless classic in The Mating Season. The hero, Bertram Wilberforce Wooster (Bertie to his intimates) is helplessly drawn into a three-act fiasco in his feeble attempts to aid school-chums straighten out lovers quarrels. Add a dose of self-preservation (frantically avoiding marriage with Madeline Basset as per usual), large dogs, and over-starched butlers and the stage is set. Jeeves, Bertie's personal manservant and the brains behind all solutions, convinces Bertie to impersonate a friend-in-distress and that begins a roll-call of other impersonations.
I can re-read this every few years but am never quite prepared for the waves of laughter for the village concert, especially the violin solo, Master George's BenBattle rendition, or when the knockabout cross-talk act scene arrives. The delivery of one liners and range of voices displayed by Jonathan Cecil is truly astounding and I urge you to give this book a listen.

CLASSIC WODEHOUSE
Brilliant plotting, great characters, witty and amusing dialogue and events, excellent pace and never tiresome. This is one of the best of the Wooster series, and perfectly narrated by Jonathan Cecil who makes Jeeves and Bertie truly live. Having listened to this gem at least four times I can attest to finding it even funnier the fifth time than the first, and the first was hilarious. Really these are masterpieces of language plotting and wit and raise even the lowest spirits.

Rushed Delivery of Mid-level Wodehouse
Mid-level Wodehouse is better than almost any alternative! There's not enough Jeeves and the familiar characters lack the usual sharpness. The series works best when Jeeves and Wooster remain distinct. Here, they are more co-conspirators to the point where Bertie acts without Jeeves' input or in contradiction to his designs.
Bertie is mostly a verbose bystander as Gussie and Catsmeat are center stage.
Jonathan Cecil is up to the narrator's task but unfortunately rushes his delivery to the point where I was checking to see if I had inadvertently set the speed to 1.5 times normal. Wodehouse is to be cherished and not rushed!

Wodehouse strikes again with another classic
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would thoroughly recommend this book as it takes you back to a carefree time when gentlemen were gentlemen and life was one jolly jape after another
What did you like best about this story?
I like the style of Wodehouse's writing. His turn of phrase is sublime. The many aunts of Bertie's give great amusement
Have you listened to any of Jonathan Cecil’s other performances? How does this one compare?
I have listened to all of Jonathan 's performances and he is a master in capturing the characters within the book. You could say that all the books follow the same general storyline but I find them all full of humour and enjoyment
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me laugh in many places, especially when he was in a tight spot with being discovered as impersonating Gussie and when Jeeves has to step in and save the day
Any additional comments?
Jonathan Cecil is a wonderful narrator and suits these books perfectly

one of the finest
One of the best Jeeves and Wooster novels. A fine farce in which Bertie has to pretend to be Gussie; while Gussie pretends to be Bertie. As usual, Bertie's chums conspire to land him in the soup forcing Jeeves to haul him to safety. Featuring a host of magnificently named characters, including Catsmeat Potter Pirbright and Esmund Haddock of Haddock's Heartache Hokies, plus 5 terrifying aunts, it's a delight. Beautifully narrated by Cecil.

What ho Bertie
The Mating Season is the ninth of Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster books and it's starting to show. Yet again Bertie is manipulated into going somewhere purely so that misunderstanding and shenanigans can ensue. This isn't to say the story isn't entertaining it's just that it's become formulaic and somewhat predictable now.
Cecil's performance as narrator is top notch as usual and I did genuinely like the book but I think I'll take a break before tackling the last few books.

Quite good. I would not recommend this narrator. The characters' voices blend together at times, which makes it difficult to follow. Much prefer Wodehouse read by Martin Jarvis.
