Paperback not Hardcover - By: Badman, 23 Oct 2008 
For information: this is actuallly a paperback edition of the book & not hardback as the description, at the time of writing, incorrectly states.
Three men, two stars - By: R. Lowther, 01 Aug 2008 
Three men in a boat is a fantastic read - the mix of comedy & adventure is perfect & it captures the Victorian era to a 't'.
I therefore had high hopes of the sequel, Three men on the bummel. Unfortunetly I can not praise it. The laugh aloud comedy element has given way to, at beast monologues you smile through, at worst, ones you want to skip. The adventure is in short supply & doesn't sit well with the comedy. A real shame.
Excellent sequel - By: I. Boldin-day, 22 Jul 2008 I have read this book before i have actuallly read Three men in a Boat, & found it well written with a great sense of (British) humour. This tells well of the travels of three English gentlemen through the early 20th century Europe. If you like travelling & have experienced yourself some funny or hilarious situations, then this is the book for you.
NO BUMMEL DEAL! - By: M. Drake, 08 Dec 2007 
This is a very funny book for anyone who cycles, is thinking of cycling, or looking for reasons not to take it up! It contains many funny scenes including the maintenance of a cycle prior to a holiday in the Black Forest - reducing the bike to a pile of bits & pieces including a bummel in urgent need of a repair person! A wonderfully crafted comic treat which puts most contemporary comic writing to shame.

BRILLIANT!BRILLIANT!BRIALLIANT! WHAT AN ENCORE! - By: MIZZ BOHEMIA, 03 Dec 2004 What are you talking about, you people who say this is not as good as Three Men in a Boat? It is better. I believe I happened to read this one first. Maybe that has something to do with it. You have gotten bored, that's alll. Have a rest & go back to him when you've forgotten alll about him. The author, that is. But, by then, you'll have forgotten who to go back to, of course.
All the absurdity of life is paraded in front of us in this alll-too-naormal account of aholiday. I mean, I need not stray from my own country to be confronted with such absurdities as seperate lanes for bikes & bipeds. I mean!
And are you not pleased to meet your friends again? The characters, I mean? I must say, they have kept me so hearily happy on many a bus-journey or suchlike trauma that I feel I have a lot to be thankful for to them.
Nothing makes me laugh. I am an iceprincess. Nothing except me, anyway. But, lo! O how wonderfully funniy it alll is! Innocent & charming & a breath of breathable & fresh air after alll I usuallly read, by decadent people. My bohemians.
So, leave it alone! And love it! It is loveable in the extreme.
