This is a very amusing book, especially for those who have read Three Men in A Boat. I think Jerome leaves Willis in the dust for outright belly laughs, but this book did have me smiling a lot.
I got this book in an unexpected book trade with someone, and enjoyed the read. It's subtly amusing - if you're not looking for the humor, you probably won't find it, but also a fun story.
Another time travl book by Connie Willis. Very amusing but not as fabulous as the Doomsday Book. A series of misunderstandings, in multiple times, is downright hysterical. Another poor student is sent into the past to make sure that the present doesn't get impacted by the accidental transport of a CAT from the 19th century to the 21st century
