Three Men on the Bummel, with eBook Audiobook

" Not as good as Three Men on a Boat. "

" A poor sequel to the hilarious "Three Men in a Boat" "

" I read this as an e-book on my computer at work, during breaks of course! It's a good job I am alone most of the time as it made me laugh out loud. "

" Delightful. I may like this even more than Three men on a boat. Lots of observational humour as you would expect from Jerome K Jerome. "

" Funny and with interesting caricatures of Germany and Germans. I also got a kick out of his thoughts on language learning-- foreigners learning English as well as Brits learning foreign languages. Many astute (although sad) observations. Light and enjoyable reading interspersed with not a few chuckles. "

" Not quite as consistently good as 3MOAB, but still loads of fun. J. and co, now mostly family men, bike through Germany; shenanigans and hijinks ensue. "

" Well one can only have one masterpiece. This comes close to the level of "Three Men in a Boat" but slightly misses the mark. Still enjoyable, still funny. I heartily recommend it. "

" I found the humorous parts of this book to be even funnier than those in Boat, if that's possible, but fewer in number. I read this second and have always wondered if that affected my perception of it. "

" Not quite as clever as Three Men in a Boat. "

" Disappointing after 3 Men in a Boat "

" Refreshing, drags a little at times but full of hilarious impossible incidents that sends the delighted reader into fits of laughter finishing off with an extremely quotable para on the essence of a 'bummel'. "

" I wavered between three large stars or four small ones and finally settled for three. While not at the level of Three Men in a Boat, this sequel is entertaining and funny, though sometimes too drawn-out and episodic. The Germans don't seem to have changed much. "

" don't love this one as much as Three men in a boat, but there are still some great little stories here. Of course, it could have been improved by the inclusion of a little dog. :) "

" Not as funny as Three Men on a Boat, but very enjoyable and amusing, though the last two chapters are quite melancholy. Published in 1900, it is extraordinarily prescient regarding the Germans' likelihood of obeying bad government leaders. "

" Not as funny as the first, but still really sharp. "

" Not nearly as funny as three men on a boat, but still a good read. The description of Germans makes it totally worth it. "

" Almost as good as the men in the boat. I laughed out loud at these old jokes. And the married former bachelors. "

" Amusing enough but nothing too special. It's definitely funny to read a description of germans by a british author before the two great wars. "

" A sequel to 'Three men in a boat', this volume takes us on a bicycle trip with J., Harris and George. "

" Not as much fun as 3 men in a boat but still very entertaining. "

" I love this book for the same reason that I admire Three Men on a Boat, but also found the prescient assessment of the German People interesting, given that the book was written only a short time before WW1 "

" It's amazing how well Jerome's work holds up after ninety years.It's just as fresh and humorous today as it was when written "

" Funny. It is not Three Men in a Boat, but it is still full of the humor that characterized it. Definitely Jerome K. Jerome. "

" Not quite as hilarious as Three Men in a Boat, but still amusing! "
