Three Men In A Boat

By: Jerome K Jerome

Narrated by: Hugh Laurie

Martyrs to hypochondria and general seediness, J. and his friends George and Harris decide that a jaunt up the Thames would suit them to a ‘T’. But when they set off, they can hardly predict the troubles that lie ahead with tow-ropes, unreliable weather-forecasts and tins of pineapple chunks – not to mention the devastation left in the wake of J.’s small fox-terrier Montmorency.

Three Men in a Boat was an instant success when it appeared in 1889, and, with its benign escapism, authorial discursions and wonderful evocation of the late-Victorian ‘clerking classes’, it hilariously captured the spirit of its age.

Delightful

What a wonderful listen this was. I giggled all through it! Highly recommend it! Thanks

very entertaining

great for a two hour road trip. Hugh Laurie gets to use his real accent. always funny to compare to house.

Humor and wisdom in every line

A classic, done justice by Bertie Wooster, along with his mates and an irascible mutt. Poetry, philosophy, humor and downright thickness all in one rollicking adventure.

Pleasant silly story. Easy read

After going through a longer novel, this quick pleasant silly story was enjoyable. I recommend it for what it is..

A Delightful Way to Spend An Evening😊

If Mark Twain had been British, he might have written this. You will laugh out loud, in spite of yourself. Highly recommend.
