“Funny in parts, but not nearly as funny as Connie Willis' spoof of it titled To Say Nothing of the Dog. It was worth reading to get the jokes in the second, but not as hilarious as I was expecting.”

“This was a very funny book about three guys who go on a camping trip. They get into lots of trouble on the way. It's a classic book, and has aged well.”

“Some of the humour is outdated but the book is an enjoyable read and has many lough-out-loud moments. 4/5 ^_^”

“Filled with humor that never turns stale, this rollicking tale of a trip on the Thames is a celebration of stories of all kinds--tales from family and school days, the classic fish story, travelogue, history, the yarns of the local tour guide, the quintessentially British operetta, and to round it out, a man-in-the-street--make that stream--view of a tragic local news story.”

If you know someone a little under the weather, or out-of-sorts for whatever reason, present them with a copy; it is sure to cheer them up and put a smile on their face. Make sure you keep a copy for yourself though!”
