5.0 out of 5 stars The Illustrated Olive Farm., 22 Feb 2006
This review is from: The Illustrated Olive Farm (Hardcover)
This is the perfect gift for anyone that has enjoyed The Olive Farm, The Olive Season or The Olive Harvest. I had built up vivid pictures in my mind of René, the pool, Mr Q, the olive trees and the book confirmed that my imaginings were accurate. The photgraphy is wonderful and the book is a great insight in to life with the olives and all that that involves. There are wonderful pictures of the dogs, family, friends, even the dreaded wild boar. Recipes as well. I loved this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Olive Farm, 17 Aug 2006
This review is from: The Olive Farm: A Memoir of Life, Love and Olive Oil (Paperback)
I picked this book up on the ferry returning from a holiday in France along with the next book in the trilogy,

I am now about 2/3rds through the first book and have loved every bit of it so far Carol is every bit as good a writer as she is an actress she writes with such passion and such a humerous but factual way that you are transported there yourself you are living the dream with them and sharing the ups and downs of such a huge project.
It is one of the best books i have ever read its funny, its sad, its informative, it makes you want to have a better life for yourself and its a great way to unwind the stresses of modern life and drift you off to another world as you sleep.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 14 Jun 2007
This review is from: The Illustrated Olive Farm (Hardcover)
Having read the 'trilogy' Olive Farm, Olive Season and Olive Harvest, this book puts your minds images into photographs. Carols writing comes alive with the pictures as you can so clearly relate them to the tales and experiences she has shared with her readers. The book is definately worth the money as the photographs are superb and a credit to her husband. I've just bought her lastest book and can't wait to read it.

Lovely pictures, cements the story and makes it even more real. The only downside is that there are not as many interior shots as expected, but the dog pictures are wonderful!
