This book was a bit of a surprise to me, mostly because of my own ignorance. I didn't realize it had been published before 1900, and most of the time it feels like a more modern book. Then every now and then there's an old-fashioned comment or somewhat jarring note because my mind wants to think it was more recent. Like I said, that's my own fault due to preconceived notions and not the result of the book itself.
Three men in a boat is the humorous story of three men (and a dog of course) who decide to take a holiday up and down the Thames. It has some really funny moments; it also has some poetic descriptions. It is a very quick easy read as it is a super short book.
It is easily worth the time, but don't expect a life-changing experience.
