From AudioFile

Jerome exploits an innocuous boating excursion by three gentlemen to comment on the halcyon days of Victorian England. He contrasts the shallow, self-centered upper-classes with England's great power and prestige at the apex of her influence. Carmichael, the quintessential English gentleman, captures perfectly the delicious inanity of our intrepid heroes' conversations and the bemusement of the locals they meet along the way. He conveys beautifully Jerome's evocative, almost wistful, descriptions of Thames-side towns whose august historical pasts illustrate the glory that was Britain. This delightful performance crystallizes the author's humor and vision and is sure to enchant its audience. B.M.W.

Product Description

With several hampers of food and an open boat, three men (and their dog, Montmorency) set out on a voyage of mishaps up the Thames from Kingston to Oxford. When his characters are not falling in the river and getting lost in Hampton Court maze, Jerome K. Jerome finds time to express his ideas.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Out With The Boys, Avril 21 2008
Par Craig Jenkins (Toronto, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Three Men in a Boat: (To Say Nothing of the Dog!) (Mass Market Paperback)
It's the way this feels - another 'people haven't changed' moment to see that quintessential British wit displayed in another time and place (more than a century past). It is in this tradition the clever absurdist humour of Monty Python and Douglas Adams flourished, and if you like that, I believe you will appreciate Three Men in a Boat.

These three (four) characters could be written into the modern day and seem just as fresh. The prose is delightfully twisty-turny, and the plot is entirely beside the point.

A comic romp and quick and very enjoyable read.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Three Idiots In A Boat, Jui 23 2004
Par I ain't no porn writer (author, "Crippled Dreams") - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Three Men in a Boat: (To Say Nothing of the Dog!) (Mass Market Paperback)
"Three Men In A Boat" is about these three slightly daft English friends who take a leisure trip in a rowboat down the river Thames. Their little trip is riddled with funny mishaps, accidents, and other humorously unpleasant incidents. It's supposedly based on a real boat trip and the author and his friends, although I'm sure the incidents are embellished for more comic effect. Some British film production, perhaps done by the BBC, exists of this story as well, starring one or more of the Monty Python gang. Both book and film are hilarious.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Way too much fun, Jui 2 2004
Par Nancy H. Johnson (Chicago, IL United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Three Men in a Boat: (To Say Nothing of the Dog!) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is much funnier than any book written by a 19th-Century Englishman has any right to be! It's a delight, and I would definitely recommend following it up by reading Connie Willis's To Say Nothing of the Dog, a time-traveling take-off on Jerome's book.
