Product Description

Review
'Unremittingly calamitous, self-deprecating and entertaining' DAILY MAIL SKI + SNOWBOARD 'Highly entertaining . . . there is much pointed irony and satire to enjoy' THE TIMES '...side-splittingly funny... Randall is a gifted raconteur...' FRENCH NEWS 'timely and humorous' DAILY MIRROR 'Droll' SCOTSMAN 'Randall entertains with expertly executed anecdotes about drag lift disasters, the flirtatious lingo of apres-ski and the benefits of a sport that daily reminds you that there is "always someone more useless than you - unless of course there isn't"' INDEPENDENT

5.0 out of 5 stars Encore, 23 Jan 2007
By W. Palmer "Will Palmer" (Bristol) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Another Long Day on the Piste: A Season in the French Alps (Paperback)
Whether this is your first or 4th Randall read I urge you to don your hat and goggles and race to your nearest bookstore. If the image of Randall in a canoe or on a donkey wasn t enough then one of him trying to impress finely tuned youngsters on the mountains of Mont St Bernard are enough to wake the silent carraige on the train ( as somewhat embarrasingly happended to me!) Russians, wine, close encounters, late nights and typically random Randall stumbles make this another witty and honest portrayal of la vie dans les Alpes de nos jours. Any critisism ? 288 pages too short. Roll on the next one

5.0 out of 5 stars Another A+, Sir., 21 Jan 2007
By K. Clifford "Lost in Translation" (Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Another Long Day on the Piste: A Season in the French Alps (Paperback)
It is a fact widely accepted by friends and family that although I am an enthusiastic starter, willing to give everything a go, it is with less zeal that I finish anything...("Where are you heading with this I hear you cry?")...that is until I read this book...(See I always get there in the end). In fact the end came rather too quickly for my liking. I couldn't put the book down. Indeed this has happened with all of Will Randall's books. This latest offering is no less warm than those based in sunnier climes and just as insightful and entertaining. In fact Will Randall's "Oh go on then, why not?" attitude to life and the challenges it presents in all his books, has inspired me to moved to a country where I don't speak the language and see if I too can have some funny adventures- for those of you interested, there have been several to date!
Anyway back to the point. I heartily recommend this book. It will leave you warmer than a couple of pints of vin chaud and itching to get your skis on!

4.0 out of 5 stars I want to go skiing now!, 16 Jan 2007
This review is from: Another Long Day on the Piste: A Season in the French Alps (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book. Anyone who likes Bill Bryson and has been anywhere near the slopes will love this. its full of stories of boozy nights, random Russians and skiing misadventures. its not as personal as some of his others- you just get the sense that he had the time of his life and he was lucky enough about being able to write about it- but he does a good englishman abroad.
