This book is such a pleasant reading. It’s well written, with an interesting story telling, a lot of small funny threads told by the characters, lovely dog :)There are three friends sitting and having discussion about their life and health. As a result of it they decide to take a boat trip, rowing trip from London to Oxford. They also don’t forget about the dog – Montmorency, full of energy and zest for fighting.
There is a lot of adventures on the way, they need to deal with different accidents, deal with the boat, river, food, cloths, people, dog and so on. And they survive all of them, but…
On the way home they need to row 2 days under the rain and this fact is bringing them close to the emotional and physical limits. Will they manage to finish the trip, how the rain will influence their decisions, how it will finish?
The story is interesting enough to spend some time reading it. All the characters (including the dog) are funny, with human (or animal) vices, but also interesting one. It’s a good reading, especially if you read it in original, then there is an added value of the literary English language.

Hi! This is funny, first Crime and Punishment, now three Men in a Boat. I read and reviewed it not long ago and enjoyed it. Even as old fashioned as it is I found it entertaining and a fun read!
