This is a charming and mostly lighthearted book with a lot of comedic moments. This is the second book in the Oxford Time Travel series, but interestingly enough you really do not need to have read book 1 to read this one. I have not read book 1 and didn't feel that I missed out on anything by coming in at book 2. I've also heard that book 1 is significantly different in tone.The other thing to note about this book is that although it's technically sci-fi (the fluffiest and lightest of hand-wavy science sci-fi), the sci-fi/futuristic aspects are used mostly as a framing device. The majority of the book ends up being set in Victorian England around 1880, taking up such activities as a boating vacation on the Thames, dealing with a fishing-addicted history Professor, trying to save a cat from being drowned by a possibly nefarious butler, trying to prevent the wrong couple from getting married, and tracking down the bishop's bird stump. It's basically historical romance wrapped up with a sci-fi bow. Luckily I love both those things!
This was one of the most enjoyable and entertaining novels I have read and listened to in a very long time. (The narrator of the audio book does an excellent job with different, distinct voices for the various characters.) Ned Henry is a fine hero, upstanding, striving to do his best in a chaotic situation. And Verity wins his heart at his first glance of her--and she wins mine, because she is saving the life of a cat. The cat is a major character, as is a dog, and although I am not a particular fan of this dog's breed, the dog himself is a delight. The novel is ostensibly time travel sci fi, but it is so much more--a mystery, a quest, a romance, a comedy. Lovers of England and the Victorian age will especially appreciate the author's knowledge and use of many details and references to the place and era, and the more you know, the more you will love it. On the other hand, although I knew of Jerome K. Jerome's book "Three Men in A Boat," I had never read it, so I feared I might miss something important accordingly. It all seemed comprehensible enough to me without having read it, but who knows. So I will read it, and then re-read and re-listen to "To Say Nothing of the Dog," if it seems I have. Or maybe I will just re-read and re-listen to it anyway, because it was such an absolute delight.
Although this book is most likely very enjoyable if you haven't already read Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog) by Jerome K. Jerome, you can increase your reading enjoyment by delving into that one first, and I don't think you'll be disappointed.This is a time travel book, and although I'm not a big SciFi/time travel reader, I loved this one. Once again, there are three men in a boat, to say nothing of the dog, in Victorian England, mostly. There is a cathedral to be rebuilt, and the Bishop's Bird Stump to be found, and a taskmaster who insists that everything be done NOW, no matter how much time travel is required.It did take me a few pages to get into the travel thing, to understand what was going on, and there was, to my taste, a little too much about time travel slippage. However, the characters are funny and endearing, and travel along the Thames brings adventures, often rather soggy ones. The dog and the cat in this story are wonderful. Altogether, a delightful story.
It’s impossible to pigeon-hole this novel: Taking off from Jerome K. Jerome’s famous 19th C book (and actually intersecting it several times in the narrative), this wildly-imaginative tale is science fiction, mystery, romance, social parody, comedy and mad-cap adventure all rolled into one. Meanwhile the sleuth saves England from Hitler! There are wonderful riffs on the space-time continuum, time-travel, Victorian manners, and the importance of the insignificant in chaotic systems. The characters are finely-drawn, sometimes caricatures but always interesting. I won’t attempt to summarize the inventive plot, but suffice it to say there are many turns and twists, often amusing ones. —And, of course, The Butler Did It!I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Connie Willis is one of my favorite authors and TO SAY NOTHING OF THE DOG is my favorite of her books. It is interesting, funny, ridiculous, mysterious and romantic.This is one of her "time travel" historical / science fiction novels and it picks up where DOOMSDAY BOOK leaves off. In this book we are introduced to a group of Historian/Scientists who are delving into the infancy of time travel. They are exploring the possibilities of time travel when it comes to replacing priceless works of art that have been lost, or being able to restore animal species that have gone extinct. They are also coming to terms with the dangers of time travel. All while living a first-hand experience of a place and time that has gone almost 150 years into the past.Unlike the deeply serious subject matter of DOOMSDAY BOOK and BLACKOUT / ALL CLEAR, the very witty TO SAY NOTHING OF THE DOG is a lighthearted story that pays homage to Jerome K Jerome's classic comedy/travel guide, THREE MEN IN A BOAT. Our two time-travelling Historian / Scientists wing their way back in time to the Victorian era to find a lost treasure and solve a historical mystery. Along the way they find themselves in all sorts of scrapes and also they find that a "spark" might be igniting between them.Will they ever find the Bishop's Bird Stump that was lost to history? Will they find True Love? What did the Butler do? Will people in the second half of the 21st century ever know the joy of having pet cats? Just read the book to find out! ;-)
