Smoking While Surfing = FAIL

Stopping smoking isn't eady. The hardest part is finding the willpower to MAKE yourself stop smoking, one way to do this is to overcome your habit by replacing it with a new one, a healthy one. My suggestion to you? Surfing, its an amazing sport and by next year you'll be able to do it all year round in massive indoor surfing centres that are opening around the country. Get yourself some surf gear in preparation.

5 out of 5 stars Great read   January 6, 2009
This book was a joy to read. It is a tale told by a man so clearly from a different, gentler age. His tales of being taken advantage of by others are heartbreaking yet he never becomes cynical or loses his essential belief in the goodness of others. This man truly was one of the last real gentlemen in the truest sense of the word.


3 out of 5 stars More stories, few recipes   January 31, 2008

I am a great fan of Maynard and love his stories but I was quite disappointed by this book. I was really hoping to read more about bacon curing, instead all I got more stories and anecdotes. Although charming and engaging, if you want to learn more about bacon curing you would be better off waiting for his next book which I gather will be a detailed guide to the art bacon curing.

A warm, heartening tale that reassures us that there are still good people out there. Maynard's story is not one of rags to riches, rather that a sensible, honest and ultimately optimistic outlook will prevail, and bring home the bacon.

The story of one man's efforts to make his way in the world, overcoming his chronic dyslexia on the way had me riveted from the start. If you like country tales buy this book. Do not expect perfect prose, but there is emotion aplenty, a few good, literally industrial scale piggy recipes, and a lot of humour - I even had a lump in my throat at the end and was left wanting more. Another excellent book from the Merlin Unwin publishing stable.
