A take off on Jerome K. Jerome's book Three Men in a Boat, it really had nothing to do with the earlier book. Two of the guys took turns writing chapters, but their style was so similar it didn't really make any difference. The book was supposed to be funny, but wasn't. There were a lot of descriptions of the electrical hook-ups they used, which was boring. And there were a lot of rants against capitalism, government, and global warming, complete with lectures about how everyone needs to adopt a simpler life-style—like they did for all of three weeks. They tried to make the trip meaningful, but it was a gimmick that really went nowhere.
