Connie Willis' entertaining comedy inspired by Jerome K. Jerome's [Three Men in a Boat (to say nothing of the dog)][1].

[Robert A. Heinlein][2] mentioned the earlier work in [Have Spacesuit will Travel][3] as Kip's father's favorite.

This was an excellent book. I had some initial hesitation, since I tend to favor more epic stories and this one was described to me as a more comedic story. However, I ended up enjoying it immensely. It is indeed a playful story with a bit of detective work, some romance, some action, and a lot of crazy characters. I'll be remembering the antics for quite some time and look forward to wrapping up the time travel series with Blackout/All Clear sometime soon.
