Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome is a bestselling classic of all time. It is based on a boat trip taken by three men and a dog. The plot sets in England and the author used different tales of history to make the book more exciting.
One day George, Harris, and Jerome decide to go on a boat trip on the Thames with their dog, Montmorency. They needed a break from their busy life. In their two weeks voyage, they met new people, face the worst weather, and feels nostalgic often. Whenever something happens in the present, they think about something specific anecdotes from the past that made the story wittier.
The New Uncle Podger and the Cheese Story are most noticeable; also the incident of Montmorency with cat made me chuckle. At some points, I don't feel the vibe of the book. The version I read has some spelling mistakes. Overall, it is a fast-paced novel where the experiences they had are worth reading. The language is simple, and the end will leave the readers with thoughts where simple things will also make sense after a long detachment.

My Review -
We load our lives with so much extra material that things become even dangerous to balance and we are held slaves of our own materialism, always worried, no time to stand and stare.
