impossible to put down;impossible to hold your laughter in.,
By A Customer
This review is from: To the Edge of Space: Adventures of a Balloonist (Hardcover)
bravery,absurdity,stars of the silver screen,british sang froid,a ripping adventure all told with a lightness of touch and a comic gift that dwarfes tom sharpe. this is the story of a nice guy made good in the world of business by doing what he does with effortless superiority-attempting the never-been-tried-before impossible thousands of feet up in the sky and doing so with a lazy smile playing on his face. eat your heart out 007; this is the real thing.
