5.0 out of 5 stars Ah, the simple pleasures ..., 2 Jan 2006
By Sally-Anne "mynameissally" (Leicestershire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
It's a wonderful book. Harmless escapism and lashings of good humour. What could be more pleasant? It's one of my favourite reads. Three men, one dog and a row boat - sometimes lazily and sometimes energetically pulling up the River Thames, having endless adventures, calamities and runs-in with the consequences of "Murphy's law". I wondered if I would enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed reading it and I'm delighted to report that Hugh Laurie has done an excellent job of this abridged reading . It's not surprising really. His television interpretation of Bertie Wooster is spot on for that character, and the character of J. (the author/narrator, Jerome K Jerome) in this tale, is so similar in many ways to Bertie - in attitude, speech mannerisms etc - that Mr Laurie seems just perfect for the role. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to all the outrageous exaggerations, boasts and scenic descriptions, read in exactly the voice I imagine J. would have. I've listened to it twice so far and will, no doubt, listen to it whenever I need to be cheered up.

There are 2 CDs in the box and the running time is two and a half hours.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Pure Delight!, 17 Sep 2007
Hugh Laurie narrates this classic book as perfectly as he played Bertie Wooster and gives the character of J the voice which you instinctively feel he should have. The story of three friends (and a dog) going for a boating trip on the Thames is told with such expertise that you may find yourself bypassing the last hundred or so years and imagining your actually listening to the author himself. I have read the book on a number of occasions, loving it each and every time but Mr Laurie manages to pull a few extra laughs out of the tale with his delivery that I have never before noticed. He brings out all the wit and subtlety of Jerome K Jerome's prose effortlessly, leaving you wanting more. Listen out for Harris and the maze, simply hilarious!.

How I wish this was a full and unabridged recording. Oh well, can't have everything I suppose!.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless Humour, 29 Jul 2005
By A Customer
Hugh Laurie is the perfect narrator for this hilarious classic. Originally written as a travel guide to the Thames, but turned into a graphic novel by the publishers, you'd never guess this was written a hundred years ago. It had me in stitches.
