Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog) Audiobook

" This book has some of the funniest writing I've ever encountered in literature. Jerome may have been writing in the early 19th century, but his sense of humor is right up there with P. G. Wodehouse, James Thurber and Dave Barry. "

" Such a cute book. Charming tongue-in-cheek understated British humor mixed in with glorious descriptions of boating on the Thames. And I loved Montmorency's meeting with a cat. "

" If you have a great British accent, then read this book. Otherwise it is best to get it on tape. A very funny at witty book, it will have you laughing all the way through. A great book! "

" I enjoyed this, but the novel it inspired, "To Say Nothing of the Dog" is far superior in my estimate. "

" Very funny but not quite a funny as I was led to believe. Dated which may be good. "

" Jerome K. Jerome combines the classic adventure & travel novel with genuine humour to create a thoroughly enjoyable read. While the plot couldn't be simpler; a commentary of three (boating-novice) friends look to break free of their static lives by touring the Thames against a backdrop of a Victorian London, the set-pieces and incidents are tightly woven together to create an exceptionally fast-moving and entertaining story. In novels where camaraderie and friendship are at the forefront, finely crafted characterisation is an essential mark to hit, and the three titular 'men in a boat' are very likeable and serve as the deliverers of a true cult classic. "

" This isn't really about three men in a boat, it is about Jerome being funny. "

" I read this book years ago and could not stop laughing. I remember giving it to my Dad to read at the cottage one summer and lying in my bed hearing him bursting out laughing from the next room. "

" I thought this book was hilarious! "

" Very funny. And Hugh Laurie reading was perfect. "

" This book is one of the funniest books I've ever read! Loved it! :D "

" Such delightful humour. I will never not love this book. "

" I read this book to the end as it is fairly short but I really struggled to get into the story. I was completely bored by the end. But glad I finished it as I hate leaving books unfinished, you never know when the story might change for the better. Unfortunately, this book didn't get better for me. "

" My first read of Jerome. Three stars isn't enough, but he's no Wodehouse, so it will have to do. Great read. "

" Interesting book but not much pleasure reading it. Quite out-dated "

" I thought this was going to be fun. And it was for the first hour. If you like Mark Twain wit and satire, this is even better. But it is so constant and overwhelming that I could not finish the book. There was zero story in which to showcase the humor - just one clever satire after another. "

" There are laugh-out-loud bits here, and there are entertaining diversions, but there's a lot of stretching to fit a word count as well. "

" Clever, but not the "funniest book you'll ever read" as reported on NPR. "

" A light-hearted and mildly amusing tale of 3 friends (to say nothing of the dog!) and their adventures on a 2-week holiday on the river Thames. Quite funny in places with plenty of "this reminds me of a time when..." stories. "

" Three young men and a dog take a rowing and sailing trip up the Thames in 19th century England. This is a fun lightweight read. It reminded me of the travel writing of Mark Twain. "

" Enjoyable bubbly journey that didn't really go anywhere... much like a trip down a river I imagine. "

" I was amused. And it made me want to go on a boating holiday on the Thames, but only if I could also be Edwardian. "

" I listened to Hugh Laurie's reading of this book. It's delicious, and he's absolutely the perfect choice for developing this kind of humor. "

" If you read "To Say Nothing of the Dog", then you must read this. Jerome K Jerome is Bertie Wooster's lost lost twin - too much inherited wealth, too much time on his hands, and an inimitable way with words. "

" This book is one of the funniest books I've ever read! Loved it! :D "

" British humor. A fortnight's outing on the Thames. "

" my romance is Jerome Klapka's Three Men in a Boat! "

" a boat trip of three friends and a dog.......a "voyage" full of humor and witty happenings...Jerome k jerome illustrated the things in his own awesome way...hats off J.... "

" I saw that this book would give me a flavor of Britain, so I picked it up. I didn't expect it to be laugh out loud funny, but that's what it is in parts. I enjoyed reading about the English countryside, as seen from the Thames. "

" This was the funniest book I have read in a long time. So witty and sarcastic, I laughed the entire time reading it. Mr. Jerome K. Jerome mastered sublime hilarity in this little masterpiece. "

" Funny, clever. It is not about the story but about its narrative "

" Read it years ago and loved it! "

" A charmer; full of wit and whimsy. "

" Brilliant book. Really enjoyable humour. Shades of Wodehouse, but stands on its own in a unique way. I am sure that I will revise the rating to a 5 star once I read it again. "

" I'm sure this was a really funny book if you were British and read it in 1910 or whenever it was written, but I suspect a lot has been lost in translation. We get it, they're a bunch of lazy, bumbling dandies. Disappointing the dog didn't have a larger part as well. "

" An English-styled, humorous novel, written wittingly. "

" Iw was funny and for a fan of humorous writing a good read. "

" Funny in that lovely understated late-Victorian way. Which is to say not really laugh-out-loud funny, but pleasantly amusing at times. "
