Three Men on the Bummel (Abridged) Audiobook

" This book is drudgery in the name of humour. It may be that Jerome K. Jerome desired that plain nonsense would make the readers laugh but it turned out to be counter-productive. Making asses of readers is no the hallmark of a good author. Boring book. Laughable but repetitive. "

" I read Three Men in a Boat, and I really enjoyed it! The humor is incredibly dry and requires an excellent grasp of tone. It's a slight little book, and well worth a read. "

" Connie Willis apparently said this was the funnies novel in the English language ... I am inclined to agree. I was snickering throughout "

" Sorry Bond - I still think this book is awesome. "

" Hilarious. Who knew failure to launch existed 100 years ago? "

" Outstanding. Fresh as if it were written last year and not in 1889. Funny and light and makes me all the more excited to leave for blighty. Huzzah for the comic novel! "

" Read this book for a Book Club. Enjoyed it - very funny. "

" Two comedies by JKJ in one book. The first (Boat) is better structured and is extremely amusing, whereas the second (Bummel) is extremely haunting to read as it is essentially a commentary on the German people. However, it was written before both World Wars, so knowing what we know today, that chapter is alternately prescient and tragically ironic. There is some hilarity as well though. "

" umor englezesc at its best :). desi s-a mai diluat putin la trecerea celor 3 din barca pe biciclete si entuziasmul meu initial fata de scriitura lui Jerome K. Jerome a scazut direct proportional. "

" One of my most loved books "

" Connie Willis brought me here, thanks to her. After reading To Say Nothing of the Dog I felt compelled to go back to the source. Sometimes humor holds up extremely well. "

" One friend loved it. One friend hated. I'm w/ the latter. "

" Hilarious! Three British bachelor's go on adventures. My copy is two books in one "

" what a great laugh out loud book. I don't usually laugh out loud in reading books! You can't beat British humor. I identified a lot with some situations..kind of btdt! I loved the tin of pineapples episode! "

" I can't finish it. I tried. I really tried. Some parts were brilliant and hysterical. But the vast majority read like a travel guide for late 1800's vacationers. It's possible that my ignorance of, and disinterest in, English history and geography kept me from enjoying this more. "

" I liked this book and it's British wit, but perhaps my mood when I read it made me feel beleaguered with the descriptions. My favorite character was the dog, montmorency, which left me saying 'oh get on with it you doddering fools, tell us what the dog got in to' "

" These two books are hilarous. Both of them are about the misadventures of late 1800's men trying to go camping or touring on bicycles. Pretty funny stuff. "

" Brilliant, funny. "

" =not as hilarious as I had hoped or was led to believe. Not entirely bad but I wouldn't recommend it. "

" Read it may be in the 60's. Was so funny and a laugh riot. Will it be same today? "

" This is a funny and lighthearted novel. It's well-written and a quick and enjoyable read. Bon voyage! "
