5.0 out of 5 stars Steve Madge delivers again, November 21, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Waterfowl: An Identification Guide to the Ducks, Geese, and Swans of the World (Paperback)

Maybe i'm a little biased but this is a great book.However trying to find a copy was something of a wild goose chase

Said Peter...what you're requesting just isn't my bag
Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late

Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan
Turn stone to bread right away...

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Woodcutter: A Novel (Hardcover)
The book is wordy. I can follow most of the typical English colloquialisms. But I could do with a bit less description of Cumbria, or Wales. Leave that to the movie version. The protagonist Wolf brings to mind a determined Sean Connery type of character.

I think I was able to finish the book as I had nothing else to read on the Kindle and it went with me during the holidays. It was not bad, but the plot gets a little crazier. But if you are just looking for a mystery, this is a bit more of a psychological thriller. But all in all, it was bit too Hollywood for me. Only the local scenery and characters were better than Hollywood.
