The Jeeves Collection

I had rather mixed feelings about this book.
To begin with I was absolutely loving the short stories about Bertie & Jeeves, being a fan of the show with Stephen Fry & Hugh Laurie. Really amusing.
Then the stories in the middle, though still amusing, were a little confusing. I was unsure what was going on when the main character was no longer Bertie but now Reggie. I wondered why it was the Jeeves collection, if the stories were not all about Jeeves?
Then the final story, being the longest, after all that went before, just felt a bit too long and drawn out. I think I would have enjoyed the book that bit more if the longest story was at the start and perhaps if the Reggie stories were at the end, or even better, replaced by more Jeeves & Wooster. So what started as a 5* read ended up 3*. Definately want to read more though
