Three Men in A Boat by Jerome K. Jerome

Humorous Travel Account


          Hello Booklovers! I'm back after 20 days and I'm really sorry for not posting on 31st January 2019. But let me tell you, 31st January was a very busy and a very special day for me. I went to the convocation of my University and was awarded a Gold Medal for being the topper in my Branch!! So coming back to today's topic, I'm bringing you a very old book which was originally published in 1889. This is a fiction novel which doesn't seem so fictitious. It absolutely matches with the reality. The book is a humorous one and based on a boating holiday on the Thames river in the United Kingdom. This indeed is a spoiler-free review.

          Well, the book will take you on a tour on the river Thames which surely is enjoyable. A huge speciality of this fiction travel account is that 3 characters out of the 4 main are real life characters. One is the author himself while the other 2 are his real life friends and the 4th is a fictional dog named Montmorency. The whole story seems very joyful and lighthearted throughout, with some witty humor which doesn't seem outdated even as of now. Other then that, you will also get a virtual tour on the River Thames, where the author describe accounts of local history along the journey. This book overall seems the one which you can enjoy along without any force or burden of guessing what will happen next. But it's upto your own interests whether you will like it or not. Some will be amused by the detailing and the touch of reality the author has added to make this fiction story a real one. While, some may also find this travel account of a boating holiday a boring one. So, it's up to you whether to read it or not. I enjoyed it from start to the end & it was joyful too. Do comment down below if you like such humorous stories and whether you read such travel accounts or not. To summarize the review I would say that it's not a "Must Read" one but truly is witty and enjoyable.  

Ratings:7/10
