Super!!!

it is easy - 6 years ago

your reviews is good

A humorous read, available as a free Kindle download on Amazon. But you don't need to read 100 pages to find out that Montmorency is a dog. Only 10-20 pages in the author mentions that Montmorency came to life in the form of a fox terrier.

Rory O'Kane - 6 years ago

It's the part immediately after where he goes to see his doctor and the doctor writes him a prescription for beef dinners, ale, lots of exercise, and to stop filling his head with nonsense that he doesn't understand that makes that chapter.

The part about the dog just made me so happy x)

abhinav meena - 8 years ago

this video should have come with the warning 'SPOILER ALERT!!!'..you just ruined my day in first 50 seconds of the video..:(.......BTW thanks for the review..:)

Will Hazell - 9 years ago

Don't worry I literally did the same thing in thinking Montmorency was a person. It wasn't until he started chasing cats that I twigged.

i just love dis book...its simply hilarious as well.. i bought it at lowest price after referring pricegenie.in which is one of d youth lead bst price comparision site ;)

Jerome's Three Men in a Boat was a novel inspired by his honeymoon boat trip along Great Britain's River Thames. The book is part travel guide, part historical account from a humorous angle

Seenia Thukral - 10 years ago

It may seem to drag a little compared to modern action fiction but it is worth the journey.

Karishma Shadiza - 10 years ago

This book though meant to be a travelogue of sorts ended up, inexplicable as one of the most loved funny stories of all time.

Chetan Kataria - 10 years ago

Jerome K. Jerome hits the nail on the head with 'Three Men In A Boat' and brings out British absurdities and traditions in a comic way.

vanish - 10 years ago

very hilarious n teaches you a lesson in a healthy comic way... the wittiness in the writing style keeps a constant smile on your face... the ridiculous situations that they land on described with british humor makes u giggle out loud !!

GerdavM - 10 years ago

Just finished this and came back to remind myself of your review, I agree with pretty much everything you said! :)

Patrick Drury - 10 years ago

Love the honesty at the start. Hilarious. Great review too. subbed

milesmoralesful - 10 years ago

If you haven't read To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis, do it. Read it now! It's so hilarious and awesome and has time travel. Need I say more? XD

thesheepscribbler - 10 years ago

Read it many times. Love it!

Montmorency is deliberately introduced as a person (oh us Brits and our 'Ironic' 'Humour') so *everyone* is misled at the beginning. Also the story of the cheese makes me laugh just thinking about it. The punting section has also happened to everyone I know who has attempted it.

Moira Jean - 11 years ago

Oh man I've definitely had one of those days, namely when I read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for the first time, and kept imagining Dobby as a pillow, simply because he was introduced as being inside a pillow case... Yeah I wasn't the brightest kid :P

homefreylf - 11 years ago

I love your book reviews! I really want to read this one.

George Grenfell - 11 years ago

just saying, i love the way you say "Hi" as its funnily cute. secondly thanks for your videos! im finding them especially useful because I've just started to read again :) so yeah, cheers!

Austin Gullett - 11 years ago

I did the same thing with Augustus Waters in The Fault in Our Stars--it was made expressly clear that he had dark brown hair, but I imagine him blonde. Like, I had to read it through a few times before I even noticed that was in there.

AiluroPanda - 11 years ago

You've got such a beautiful mongrel accent

Benjamin Whitfield - 11 years ago

Your hair looks really good when you wear it like that. I hope you're not creeped out by that comment.

syntrix1985 - 11 years ago

I love this book, and I love how you mixed up Montmorency! I just read the sequel, Three Men on a Bummel, which is equally hilarious - maybe even better.

elisabettebarczak - 11 years ago

It has always been one of my favorite books :) I wish that more people knew just how humorous some classic books can be .~And you seem lovely.

Yumm, so cute. Un besito :*

mushr8m - 11 years ago

Hehehehe! I love your justification at the beginning at the video! :)

Giugiubia - 11 years ago

haha, I had the same problem with the dog! I realized what it was just a few hours before watching your video, as I'm reading the book right now. I've just gotten to the bit about bagpipes I think you're referring to. I agree on it being slow sometimes, but I found myself laughing in public more than once while reading it...

Jess - 11 years ago

I was thinking of buying my dad this book for christmas -- dear people who've read it, is this a good gift?

subtleopinions - 11 years ago

Sanne, I completely sympathize. I have done that so many times. When I read Twilight, I was convinced that Emmett was a girl for about 50 pages.

Rae Of Books - 11 years ago

Thanks to your review I've just requested this book from my local libary :) Out of curiosity, have you ever read anything by Walter Moers?

nerdintranslation - 11 years ago

Fantastic review. I've been meaning to read this, and I own this gorgeous edition as well. :D

booksandquills - 11 years ago

I'm already working on it :)

abby peterson - 11 years ago

You should make a video on some books to ask for for the holidays (: all of the books that you review and show on your channel are quite fabulous reads, and I think you'd be a good person to get an opinion from about some great books (: just a suggestion.. (:

Cinzia DuBois - 11 years ago

Mum laughed too. But with love also xx

ockvonfiend - 11 years ago

Great review - I'll definitely be buying this book next time I see it

Vanessa Achere - 11 years ago

I just found your channel and i love it! You're one of my favourite YouTubers now :)

Mariya Granwitch - 11 years ago

There's a Russian film based on this,

booksandquills - 11 years ago

Yeah go ahead, laugh at me :P

Cinzia DuBois - 11 years ago

I was genuinely in stitches at the beginning of this video. Stitches. Good thing I bought a knitting starter kit today ;) bless you I do love you!

Sandy Robinson - 11 years ago

I got confused about the dog too :P Great reveiw as usual... PS. Your hair looks lovely in this video :-)

Crazface - 11 years ago

I love Three Men in a Boat. I also saw a Play adaptation of it last summer.

whoahchloe - 11 years ago

Oh yes, British humour... *Puts book on top of book list*

Ik kan maar een ding zeggen .... Blondje :) hahahah

alaricdogface - 11 years ago

Mr. Montmorency will forgive you for a bit of kibble.

FireLordAzulon5 - 11 years ago

I really want to read this one, it seems like it's a very fun read. Brilliant review as usual :)

DaffodilsInJune - 11 years ago

This is definitely on my reading list! This is second time I've herd about Three Men in a Boat recommended this year. How would you compare it to P. G. Wodehouse? Because it sounded very similar to what he wrote.

iveyettotakethehint - 11 years ago

i'm hopefully getting this book for christmas, i'm ten times more excited to read it now :D you always give the best reviews sanne

rincey reads - 11 years ago

Comparing this book to The Importance of Being Earnest = easiest way to make me bump this up on my TBR

VicMorrowsGhost - 11 years ago

I'd say house maid's knee would be a preferable malady than Miley's melody. :P

mybestfrendsafrog - 11 years ago

Loved Three Men in a Boat! Especially the contrariness of tea kettles =)

booksandquills - 11 years ago

Nope. I'd never do that. Never.

booksandquills - 11 years ago

Not a lot has changed since last time :/

booksandquills - 11 years ago

I brought 12 boxes to London and 6 of them were filled with books.

Eline Anne - 11 years ago

I haven't read it, but now I want to!

ultraAnomalocaris - 11 years ago

I love dutch people, their so bright and happy.

wanderback - 11 years ago

I've got a worse one. I didn't know that David Sedaris books were essays about his life and the first one I read, for a few essays, I thought he was writing from the point of view of a woman.

foregotheparable - 11 years ago

"Everybody makes mistakes, everybody has those days." Was that a Hannah Montana reference?!

megj - 11 years ago

I'm trying to figure out which book to take overseas for the course of my travels, something like young adult fiction, but not such an easy read, any recommendations?

Noctuaminerva - 11 years ago

I listened to this book on an audio cassette, and I don't think I've ever laughed so much! The voices made it even better. And yes, it reminded me of The Importance of Being Earnest too! Oh man, cracking up just thinking about it.
