This was fun. Again, the more things change, the more they stay the same. This is a collection of what I would guess to be columns written by Jerome Jerome in the features section of a newspaper. Many are as applicable today as they were when originally written.
A nice book which, in every other case, I would have rated at least 4 stars, but Jerome Jerome has obviously spoiled his readers too much for him to publish a book which only has its occasional laugh-out-loud moments.
Although not the equal of his "Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow" (1886), one can still find sublime passages here and there that demonstrate the occasional genius of a wonderful observer and humorist. The passages are worth reading the rest.
Jerome K. Jerome here seems to be getting into his element, unlike the earlier books where he was grappling with his thoughts, observations, and style.
