Humor is very hard to write. Jerome K. Jerome does a fine job in his "Three Men in a Boat" -- it's a light, frothy sort of humor that brings to mind a 60's comedy movie. The characters are irritable and inept, and the things that tick them off (packing luggage, setting up a tent, dealing with women in nature, cooperative rowing) are still very relevant today. For example, people who hate jet-skis can find parallel rants on the steam-powered launches that annoy Jerome and his sailing buddies.
The occasional dips into seriousness (English history, a single-mother suicide) take up a net 2 pages total, and don't happen to detract from the overall humor. My favorite line is spoken by Jerome to the overzealous cemetary watchman, who can't believe Jerome doesn't want to view some open tombs: "Leave me immediately or I shall climb over the fence and slay you."
The book gets 4 stars only because (like most observational humor) it leaves the mind easily, and doesn't display the unity of meaning, humor and characterization that modern readers expect from a 5 star book. This book is an excellent series of hilarious essays loosely strung together in the form of flashbacks, but it is not a novel per se. One of its greatest achievements is that it is still readable today, quite accessible to a modern audience.

My mother wasn't much for reading, and this is the only book she ever bought me, having loved it herself as a child in the 1930s. I must have read it a dozen times, and every time it literally brings tears to my eyes. Which is no small feat. Those who find the book "too old" (!) might like to try Bill Bryson's Notes from a Small Island. You'll immediately see the kinship across the years.

Tremendous amount of humor, hilarity, warmth, generosity, travails and triumphs both domestic and while travelling - this book has it all. It will make you weep with laughter. (I've always been partial to the scene with the canned peaches.)Jerome is one of those now-forgotten Victorian British writers whose names should actually be inscribed in gold on library walls.
I would advise this book to anyone above the age of 12 with an even modest sense of humor. It is a tremendous antidote to the curse of modernity, which encourages us to believe that anyone alive in any period before this one must be hopelessly dull, boring, and have nothing to teach or share with us.

not mine
I can only tell that this kind of humor is special. So, if you notice that this kind of humor is not yours stop reading because you might get bored. If it is, well, you'll laugh.

have read his other work - a wonder
Perhaps I break the rules, having not read the book, but I know the praise all too well. I found Jerome's "Idle Thoughts of and Idle Fellow" in a box of discarded booxs. Lesen Sie weiter...

It will make your sides ache
I read this book at least five times and will read it again. My favourite episodes are those related to Uncle Podgers, one of the most comic characters in English fiction after... Lesen Sie weiter...

A book I will re-read frequently!! I love it.
This has to be the most consistently funny book I have ever read. Jerome's writing style is a mix of Twain, Wodehouse and Austen. Lesen Sie weiter...

My annual Spring tonic--wit at its best!
I was given a copy of this book about 12 years ago. It has turned out to be one the best gifts I've ever received. Jerome's witty ramblings are the funniest I've ever read. Lesen Sie weiter...

Good book, but old
I can't say anything that anyone else has not already said so I'll just add that I probably missed about half the humor because it's just too old.

This book is pure fun, very rarely dull.
I think this book was well worth reading. It's written in a very intelligent way with the base story mixed with the novel-like short stories. Lesen Sie weiter...
