I can't sit still and see another man slaving and working. I want to get up and superintend, and walk round with my hands in my pockets, and tell him what to do. It is my energetic nature. I can't help it. Includes 66 of the original A. Frederics illustrations found in the original 1889 publication. The classic and timeless humorous story, Three Men in a Boat begins with the eponymous "three men" sitting around discussing the different needs in their lives. The three conclude that they are indeed overworked and a holiday is in due order. Their ideas for relaxation are instantly rejected until they hit upon the idea of taking a boating holiday up the River Thames. Thus begins the famous journey whose lore has now spanned three centuries. But lest we never fail to mention their most trustworthy companion-their dog Montmorency!

"Three Men in a Boat" is a hilarious volume, filled with boating adventures and witty ramblings.
It all begins when a trio of grown men "decide" they are quite ill and that a sea trip is just the thing to cure them. If you don't mind casting away with a coterie of half-lunatics, then you're in for a treat. The self-diagnosis of various ailments gets a person chuckling. The ridiculous arguments get a person guffawing. The trailing stories that the main character tells get a person outright laughing.
The descriptions of England and the curiosities that the trio encountered are just delightful. The bizarre antics of three crazy men (and a dog) are splendid. Everything is precisely British, and oh!---how I wish for a nice row down the Thames right about now.

3 Men in a Boat is a great laugh if you are able to understand the stale British taste of humor. Although very time oriented, being in the early 1800s of London, this is a wonderful adaption to our modern world in which we live in today. I wouldn't recommend this reading to someone very young because the humor has vulgar moments but this is clearly a masterpiece work of literature by the one and only Jerome Jerome. Overall this is fun to read if your willing to struggle past the British english.
