Witty, fresh and funny though it´s more than hundred years old. Amused me all way through, sometimes couldn´t help myself and laughed out loud (it could have looked creepy with strangers around...).

Everyone should read at least bits of this book at sometime in their life. Perfect turn of the century British humor dished out wittily by three gentlemanly stinkers.

Though there were many parts of this book specific to time and place, I think it retains a lot of universality (at least in a first-world-problems kind of way). Weather will always be weather, dogs will always be dogs, and hypochondriacs will be hypochondriacs, whether they're at the library looking at surgeons' tomes or consulting webMD.

Not very many books make me cackle, but this one certainly did.

Pretty funny for a one hundred twenty year old book. I laughed more than expected. I definitely recommend the audio book.
