Probably it's my fault, but I couldn't appreciate the book at all. The humor is not really sparkling, and my knowledge of english is not that good. Finally I finished it.

Over 100 years after having been written, this book remains so funny that I found myself laughing out loud more than once - something that happens very very seldom to me.

I could not miss the original version of one of my favourite books. Again, Jerome was a genius.

I know, I know - everyone loves this book. I just found it mildly diverting. Well-done, of course, but not anything which captivated me or left a lingering impression. Comic, picaresque account of a journey down the Thames. I actually bought this to clarify Connie Willis' "To Say Nothing of the Dog" (taken from the parenthetical sub-line of this novel.) It's been touted as Bertie Wooster takes a trip, but I much prefer Wodehouse to this.
