Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome is a book that is written with a comical touch to make the reading interesting. The book features the protagonist wanting to go on a boat ride on the river with two of his closest friends and his pet dog Montmorency. When all of them eventually set their foot on the boat to enjoy the boat ride, the protagonist realizes that the pristine waters that he assumed would make the ride relaxing, is actually quite challenging and requires a lot of sailing skills to keep the boat at bay on the river. He experiences severe troubles while cooking and encounters swans, which put up a fight with them. They also come across kettles and pineapple tins, which make the sail all the more challenging. This book is packed with drawings by Vic Reeves and therefore makes for a humorous reading. Three Men in a Boat intends to have the reader engrossed through its comical narration of the boating experience and colourful drawings.
