Simoman 110 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 This book arrived weeks ago but i was told it was my christmas present and couldn't open it until the 25th, well the anticipation was well worth it, once i picked it up i couldn't put it down. Full of interesing stories and opinions based on half a century in the field, the book excels as it fails to stick to a regimented chronological order, so the chapters flow between different eras and the book is all the better for it, also the highly anticipated chapter on the pioneering Cattle Dog project is discussed in detail. The book is a real eye opener and Phils unique style really draws the reader into his world, my only critisism is, its been too long since a Mouchers Tale and im now craving a third title. All in all, highly recommended and damn good value............. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chewton 7 Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 I been reading things Phil Lloyd has written since the 80s and he still manages to always be interesting, which takes some doing, and there is a lot left between the lines. The parts of his two books where he recounts dogs he's had and parts of his life are brilliant. I hope he can be bothered to keep writing books but fair play if he decides to leave it here.

Neal 1,784 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I agree with the comment about "a lot left between the lines." It's one of those books where I'm regularly finding myself pausing mid-sentence or mid-page and ruminating for a while. Definitely my best Christmas present. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
