This is a funny rambling story told by a Victorian era ranconteur that still holds up well for the most part. The Boat trip up the Thames is the setting that allows Jerome Jerome to reflect on all sorts of things in the style of a Mark Twain and his wit is highly entertaining. Don't expect to be bowled over with laughter though, his material is a bit dated.
Nevertheless, this is a funny.witty and at times enlightening look at a period in England that is no longer.

I read this book about 10 years ago......and yesterday I'm still laughing.
Jerome possessed very good comic timing, the story flowed naturally, the emotions and reaction of the 3 men were so real that I wish I was on the river and met them at that time! Somehow this book can teach us the importance of taking a break from our daily life.
I recently bought a copy from Amazon which was initialy meant as a gift for someone, but having a second thought, I decided to keep it as a precious reading companion for myself when I'm travelling.

Jerome K. Jerome might have been a riot 100 years ago but this book will provoke only a rare smirk. The best bits belong to the dog who only seems to appear at the end of every third or fourth chapter to drop a one-liner. Other than that, it is aged, slow moving slapstick with some oddly out-of-place moments of reflection.
How anyone can call this a laugh riot boggles my mind.
