Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), published in 1889, is a humorous account by Jerome K. Jerome of a boating holiday on the Thames between Kingston and Oxford.

The book was initially intended to be a serious travel guide, with accounts of local history along the route, but the humorous elements took over to the point where the serious and somewhat sentimental passages seem a distraction to the comic novel. One of the most praised things about Three Men in a Boat is how undated it appears to modern readers — the jokes seem fresh and witty even today.

Too many narrators


(4 stars)

The book is interesting and funny at times. Didn't enjoy too many narrators. Would be more enjoyable if one person read the entire book

such an enjoyable book


(5 stars)

hilarious from start to finish, and the readers add to the pleasure.

A funny tale of travel


(4 stars)

Dry English humor at some of its best

Female narrators for male first person character doesn't work.


(2 stars)

I had to give up when the female readers appeared. It's simply too confusing when the s main character and first person narrator is supposed to be male. It took me right out of te story.
