Published in the year 1889, Three Men in a Boat, is a humorous account of a two-week boating holiday on the Thames from Kingston to Oxford and back to Kingston. It is based on three best friends and a faithful dog who take this adventurous boat trip. The narrator in the novel J is the author himself and the two friends are his real friends George and Karl. The book was meant to be a travel guide depicting local history along the route, but the humorous elements took over and it turned out to be an undated comic novel fresh and witty even today. What is notable about this novel is the pace of the narrative; the story moves as the river does. For the most part, J tells the story and all the stories within the story at a relaxed pace, but there are certain moments and scenes where the tension rises. This mimics the way a river can become powerful in certain areas while remaining calm in others. More recently, Three Men in a Boat has found a home on top-book lists, including The 100 Greatest Novels of All Time in 2003 and 50 Funniest Books Ever in 2009....
