This is asking for your opinion rather than mine. Much of the story recounts the foibles and missteps of the three friends. The humor is disarming. Through the humor, we can see the three friends begin to relax , from all their maladies, and truly have an adventure. J.’s digressions serve multiple functions. Most importantly, they give Jerome the opportunity to experiment with different types of humor. I like both the paraffin oil and the cheese stories. Jerome uses a little hyperbole in both stories to make them just a little more fun.
