Three Men In A Boat, a nice narrative of voyage of 3 friends along with their dog- fox terrier. It is a bit witty - Yes a bit because meaning of humour has significantly changed in century. I didn't find it humorous as stated. Too much description of Licks in river Thams and TELLING HISTORY of forts is something where writer did a big mistake and diverted from the plot. Harris amd Montomorency( Characters of book) fascinated me most, purely personal opinion. Not a very big book only of 182 pages. Would recommend you to read this only because of the fact it have a good experience of River Thames. So if you have not sailed on a boat it will be a good account to read. A few incidents added comic relief to the book and some recalled memories of Three Men lighted the nature of book. All the best for a good read
