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 Jerome Jerome’s Three Men in a Boat is without doubt one of the funniest things ever. The book itself is hysterical, but when Hugh Laurie gets his teeth into it, it transcends! It's charming, witty, sweet, surprisingly informative (JKJ meant for it to be a travel guide when he started) and Hugh Laurie turns it into a rare gem!
Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome MP3by Jerome K. Jerome
"...Three young Victorian gentlemen imagine they are unwell and need a holiday. They decide to hire a boat for a week or two on the Thames. Bad weather, incompetence at cooking and camping, misunderstandings and a grumpy dog eventually dent their enthusiasm for the whole thing. This comic classic is beautifully written and along with the laughter the listener imbibes a wonderfully atmospheric account of English history...."
'At first glance it could have been anything - a stone, a knotted root - until you looked more closely. Thrusting out of the wet earth, its bones visible through rags of flesh, was a decomposing hand...' It was eight years ago that they found the body buried on the moor. They were certain that this was one of psychotic rapist and multiple murderer Jerome Monk's teenage victims. Which left just two more bodies to find. But the ill-conceived search ended badly. And with Monk safely behind bars, the momentum faltered.
