Hugh Laurie's voice is extremelly expressive, the story is very funny and this is one of the best audio books i've ever listened to
 This is abridged! July 3, 2007

I was very annoyed to discover that this audiobook is an abridged version of the book. Many of the most delightful parts--the train ride with the smelly cheeses, Uncle Podger hanging a picture, Harris singing comic songs--have been removed in order to give the audiobook a more stream-lined feel. I don't mind that Jerome K. Jerome's ponderous philosophical interludes have been trimmed, but I would have liked to have known that I wasn't getting the whole book when I bought this CD!
You'll never believe this is HOUSE! January 7, 2007

For those of you who only know Hugh Laurie as Greg House M.D. - you're in for a surprise. You'd never guess that gravely voiced doctor could be the same posh Brit you'll hear on this recording.
His first-person narration of JKJ's Three Men in a Boat is without doubt one of the funniest things I've ever heard! The book itself is hysterical, but when Hugh Laurie gets his teeth into it, it transcends! His reading of this is my favorite audio book of all time. I keep it in my car and listen to it whenever I feel stressed or need a pick-me-up - or just want to laugh. I practically have the thing memorized, but it never gets old or boring.
When he starts talking about Montmorency (fox terriers are born with four times the original sin of other dogs!), I can't help but laugh out loud.
Buy this CD - it's charming, witty, sweet, surprising informative (JKJ meant for it to be a travel guide when he started) and Hugh Laurie turns it into a rare gem!
Please, Mr. Laurie, do some more audio books! You're brilliant!
