Newest Review: ... of. His trail takes him the length and breadth of our 1,000 or so islands, from the more obvious Isle of Man to obscure lumps ... more  ... of rock I'd never even heard of, such as Rockall. All in all he visits 13 islands (Sark, Caldey, Bardsey, the Skerries, Isle of Man, Muck, Eigg, Gruinard Island, St Kilda, Shetland, Heligoland, Sealand and Rockall), getting the lowdown on island life from the islanders, boats crews and pub owners. Each island/island group is given a chapter ensuring quite a large amount of information is given on each, however, there is no mention of why he picked these particular 13 islands out of the thousand, which I would have li...more |

After hitting the public eye by spending a year on the island of Taransay in the BBC's 'Castaway' programme, Ben Fogle has become a staple figure on the small screen presenting animal and travel related programmes such as Animal Park and Extreme Dreams. I've always found him personable and friendly in his shows so thought 'what the heck' when I spotted his book 'Offshore' in my local library. At only 258 pages, it wasn't going to take long to read even if it was complete rubbish - which, it turned out, it wasn't.

loads of info. 
none Comprehensive, always useful, small and lightweight. None specific to this brand of phrasebook. Writing style, humour, structure Not to everyone's taste Makes you think (is that a good thing?!) I'm all for being encouraged to quit a boring job and go on an adventure Virtually no information about Brazil; repetitive; follows the kind of person I'd avoid in real life None really It's short, pointless and not funny.Battle for Spain: The Spanish Civil War 1936-1939 - Antony Beevor
Academic text I just can't see it having broad appeal - it is too dry
Peter Pan in Scarlet - Geraldine McCaughrean
Sticks to the original's style Definite sequel - read the original first
She'll Take It - Mary Carter
Funny, will make you laugh out loud None I can think of
Merry Christmas, Blue Kangaroo! - Emma Chichester-Clark
Good evocation of Christmas with familiar characters, well produced, good story, touch of magic Anodyne, rather white-middle-class
Asterix and the Olympic Games
Great fun for all ages. Some of the original humour can be lost in the translation
Horrible Histories - The Angry Aztecs
Some interesting facts and figures... ... not as well written or interesting as others in this series of books...
The Ballad of Halo Jones Book 3 - Alan Moore
The longest, most focused, most action-packed and most tragic volume yet. Falls for the war story clichés at times, and lacks the humour of the previous books.
Death's Jest-Book - Reginald Hill
Starry Nights - Susannah Bradley
Lots of makes may not be useful for 10 months
The Egg Race - Polly Williams
Funny in places, good characters Bit slow at the start, not as good as her first
