Not sure I agree with you about the way it's written though. Yes it is very good observationally, but the style is way over the top. I had to skim all the bits about rosy sunsets dipping their fingers into the Mediterranean. Since when can anyone describe a sunset which they saw 30 years ago?ReadyReckonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06659939906337754825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6656468.post-27360781929430160532007-10-10T10:28:00.000+01:002007-10-10T10:28:00.000+01:00Blimey, that stick men book sounds a bit near the ...Blimey, that stick men book sounds a bit near the mark.
