Dave Hedgehog Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Made a start on my Christmas present and haven’t put it down. A really enjoyable and easy read. It’s a monster of a book at 536 pages and I’m by no means at the end but really enjoying it after the first 120 pages. There’s no self indulgent big headed nonsense, no “look how great I am” story’s. It flows nicely. The white print on black background is different but works for me. i maybe bias because I rate Mr Penning highly as an angler and as a writer but I’d really recommend this one. yonny, finchey and commonly 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Paws Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Agreed Dave. My Xmas present arrived early December and my missus let me have it early (oooh, matron!) and I finished it in a couple of weeks by reading a couple of hours every night. Tremondous book and can't rate it highly enough. Wonderful 'fireside reading' that you can dip in and out of any Chapter as it isn't connected. It isn't all fishing as some of it is part autobiographical but still enjoybale to read. https://calmproductions.com/rolling-in-the-deep Not the cheapest book at £35 but it is a monster read. The formatting of the book is different to any other fishing book I've read before and the diary pieces included add to the feel of it. Virtually every Carp book on the market has the standard 'man and big fish' front cover but this isn't and that emphasises that it doesn't conform to what you might have read before.

harpz_31 Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) im not a massive fan of reading fishing books but I am a huge penning fan and love his passion for and approach to angling. will definitely be parting with £35 (but if the missus askes it was a fiver ) Edited January 8, 2019 by harpz_31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
