Chuyến du ngoạn bằng thuyền với lí do thật khó tưởng và những tình huống dở khóc dở cười của bộ ba (cùng chú chó đi cùng) chính là điểm hài hước của cuốn sách này. Tuy nhiên thì đúng là óc hài hước của người anh, các bác thâm sâu ghê ấy, khiếu hài hước khó hiểu thật sự =)))). Đọc khá vui kiểu giải trí cũng ổn.
P/S: cuốn này là mình được một chị trên group đọc sách tặng cho, chị còn cẩn thận đề thêm cho vài dòng nữa khiến mình vẫn trân trọng cuốn sách đến giờ.

We had an excerpt from this book in middle school and I have been meaning to read this book since then. Thanks to SF public library system for making my wish come true.
Classic British humor (yes, we were colonized).

A travelogue based around a trip up the Thames River by a trio of well-to-do Victorian era young men and a dog that I found hilarious. Not so much a single story as a series of boating related stories branching out from the most recent trip up the river by three friends. Clever observations about boating in all its forms on the river, camping, fishing (and the proper way to tell a fish story), dogs, hotels, etc. along with a bit of English history kept me reading to see what misadventures Jerome and his friends would get themselves into, or recollect, next. I'd give this a 4.5 if Goodreads allowed half stars.

I can see why it's enjoyable but just a bit too British for my American humor i guess
Really funny, but gets old. I might have enjoyed it more if I'd read it at a more leisurely pace.
In the late 19th century, three young men (and a dog) take a two week journey up and down the Thames. If Jerome had just kept to the river journey itself, the book would be even shorter but there are many digressions, some funny, some rather sad.
I expect I would have delighted more in this classic comedy had I knew more about boating and/or English history. It wasn’t as funny as I anticipated but I did laugh out loud a few times.

I read this because there was talk of it being the funniest book in English literature. It isn't. The funniest character is the dog and he isn't in it much. Stick with Tristram Shandy, my friends.
well, may try again later, but as an audiobook just couldn't get too excited about it and I was halfway through. Not sure it is for me.
