Book Review:
The three friends — J., George, and Harris — return in this sequel to Three Men in a Boat. This time, instead of rowing on the Thames, they embark on a “bummel” (a slow, relaxed journey) through Germany’s Black Forest — on bicycles! They struggle with tandem cycling, map-reading, getting a bicycle off a train, even crossing the road. Jerome’s wit is as sharp as ever, and the comic mishaps never stop. While not as famous as the first book, Three Men on the Bummel is still wonderfully funny and deserves more attention. Perfect for fans of British humor, cycling, or anyone who needs cheering up. This Penguin Popular Classics edition is complete and unabridged
