1.0 out of 5 stars Extremely dull read, 9 Jan 2008
By S. Buckle (Kent, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Extremely Pale Rose: A Very French Adventure (Paperback)
After all the glowing reviews, I was extremely disappointed in this book. There is no depth to it, I didn't feel as if I got to know the characters at all, and it was terribly tedious. I felt as if the author was cashing in on the fashion for books about people giving up their secure, well-paid jobs in order to explore the joys of southern Europe, and didn't do a good job at all. Buy second-hand, if at all!

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Pale Rose, 24 Jul 2007
By L. J. Hardy "tygerh" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Extremely Pale Rose: A Very French Adventure (Paperback)
I am only on page 70 and I am loving every single word. A superb picture is painted by Jamie Ivey, his prose is wonderful and you feel that you are with them every step of the way as they travel in search of the palest of "Rosie" to beat a bet that has been set them. Their friend Peter is an unrepentant roue and comic and I hated putting it down when I arrived at Waterloo this morning. The most entertain 70 mnutes I have had for ages and passengers were reaching for the white jacket as I guffawed and tittered and giggled.

Can't stop, now off to devour another 70 pages on the journey home!

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Extremely Pale Rose: A Very French Adventure (Paperback)
This is the stuff dreams are made of!Travelling through France tasting wines for 6 months.folowing a bet over a misunderstanding between a very pale Rosie and a very pale rose wine the 3 travellers enjoy an extended holiday in Franc ein search of the palest rose wine they could find.Not as easy as they 1st thought this amusing book will keep any lovers of France keeping their fingers crossed that the trio find this elusive wine.Very enjoyable read for the summer.
