Customer Reviews

The strangest but greatest book i have ever read!
Now i'm a slow reader - and i mean really slow!. But i managed to tackle this short story book in a weekend because quite simply i couldn't put it down!. Its not the sort of book i usually go for but i saw it in a shop whilst at the seaside and liked the idea of reading some sea related short stories. I can honestly say, i havent enjoyed a book so much for years! it was fantastic!. The stories have you gripped even if they are only two pages long! i enjoyed every single one. Its funny how it starts off with stories of ghost ships and such like and then as it moves more into the future the stories change to more modern 'strange' themes like boat races and murder!. Some stories werent that strange but on the whole you read each one and go 'mmmmmm..interesting'. I loved it!.

Great little book
Great little book full of short stories (2-3 pages long) about mysteries of the sea. Good for 'dipping in and out of'.
