Ibiza's glorious summer season is beginning, but holiday company Young, Free & Single - made famous by Colin Butts' first novel, IS HARRY ON THE BOAT? - is under threat. Sleazy Tyrone Lucas, disgraced former rep with YF&S, runs their rival, Club Wicked, and would dearly love to bring them down. When dance music megaclub The Monastery decides to expand into travel by acquiring one or other company - spelling disaster for the loser - the battle lines are drawn. YF&S need the experience of veteran rep Greg, but his only interests are the opening party at Space, popping pills and winning the infamous Golden Dick. Unless Greg straightens out, the future of YF&S could be down to how the new reps perform, but with Sloaney Arabella besotted with a Club Wicked rep, Vaz desperate to become a DJ and Hughie infatuated with any girl over a size 18, the initial signs are not good, especially when Club Wicked reveal their new resort manager, an old adversary who gives head to get ahead ...

Absolutely brilliant read, really believable and well written, I have read it a few times now and can't put it down.

is harry still on the boat
what a book!!! absoulty brilliant. took it away with me on holiday and couldnt put it down.
laughed out loud so many times.
come on colin write another....please.
A worthy follow up or a blatant cash-in?
I think the above title is a good summary for this book. I thought "Is Harry On The Boat" was very funny and refreshing and while this follow up does still give a few laughs I can't help feeling it could have been better. All of the main characters from the first book are here but you can't help but feel that they've been shoe horned in a bit too forcefully, especially seeing as a couple of the new characters just seem to be carbon copies of those who didn't make the sequel. Fans of the original will enjoy it and I did myself, however, I can't help feeling just a little disappointed that the author didn't try to be a little more innovative.
