Just on Chapter VIII . . Am lying in van on bed reading and chuckling away to myself .. (when you are solo it doesn't take much to make you chuckle) ... loving it .. great humour and visualisation ... ha ha ha ..

Thanks @Hils and Glenns

Really enjoyed it thank you... Didn't expect to but found it soooo visual as I was reading it that I was chuckling away out loud...

Having said that I thoroughly enjoyed some of the serious moments and brilliant descriptions ... My kindle at my daughter's at the moment so can't copy any but there is one chapter that I found enchanting .. where a ruins of a monastery was described ..

Loved it.

What did everyone else think?

I started it as an audio-book and fell asleep. Quite a few times. Maybe I need to revert to text

 

[Allan & Loren]

Well what can I say about Three men in a boat? I found it quite humorous reading about the antics of these chaps to such an extent I often laughed out loud. I couldn't help but visualise some of their antics, the packing, unpacking and re-packing of the essentials for their trip reminded me so much of when we first had our Moho and the discussions Allan and I had about what each of us considered essential! I did find the writing matched their personalities but as I got further into the book I seemed to lose a couple of chapters and found I began to drift and would get to the end of a chapter and have no idea what I had read. overall really enjoyable and a good giggle And definitely a book I would not have chosen myself.

Agree with everything you have said... I also began to wonder whether any of our members actually lived in that area, and how they found the book identified with the areas they passed through on the river. . Would be interesting to hear what they thought.
