Hilarious. Ok, it takes a little getting used to the outdated wordage (is that a word?), but its definitely worth it. I've never laughed out loud reading a book except for this. I can relate to so many of the funny stories in it, and that's amazing considering how old it is! Read it, read it, read it!

Hilarious. Anyone who has ever taken a tent camping trip with friends, and especially with a boat will immediately relate to this book. Really anyone can relate to this book. Full of ridiculous, frustrating, exhausting situations and yet the friends manage to have their fun. It is sort of a Monty Python of the late 19th century.

A delight, a history, and (almost certainly) Wodehouse’s inspiration for Mr Mulliner.. Jerome Klapka Jerome was born in Bradford St, Walsall. Was partly named after a Hungarian revolutionary, and wrote 2 of the funniest, and broadest, books about the English at the end of Victoria’s reign (the other book being Three Men on the Bummel. A frighteningly prescient view of Germany before the Great War). The man is worth remembrance, and a read. I have just finished rereading Three Men in a Boat for the first time in decades. I skipped over some of the most famous comic passages, because I remembered them well enough; but the depth of the insights, and a breezy style long lost, gripped me. I also have to praise the social commentary. Well past Dickens’ melodrama. Well before the handwringing of Lawrence or Orwell. He just narrates incidents; one of which (concerning a woman’s suicide) will forever raise this book above the lazy sculling of most comic writing.

Loved this. Just brilliant British humour, some things will always be funny no matter how old. Laughed out loud but might not be taking a boat out for a while.

Perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed this classic and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a quick read.

An excellent read. I thoroughly enjoyed Three Men in a Boat - it's age has not made it any less funny, nor has it's description of a jaunt up the Thames been any less enthralling - a great book to settle down to on a rainy night!

A timeless classic. Jerome K Jerome's travelogue of three friends (and a dog) rowing up the Thames is as fresh today as the day it was written. The boating holiday itself is a pretty ordinary affair. They get lost in a maze, they have problems with food packaging, they get drunk, one of the party is menaced by swans, they have a minor culinary disaster and so on. What raises this book into the pantheon of greats are Jerome's frequent diversions and musings on life, at times lyrical, often remarkably prescient and always hilarious. His monologues on weather forecasts, DIY, "private, keep out" signs and hypochondria would not be out of place on a contemporary stand-up stage. If you have not read this book, do so now, and enjoy one of the funniest books in the English language.

Three Men in a Boat. By turns tongue-in-cheek, funny, poetic and historically interesting. Great book.
