Encore - By: W. Palmer, 23 Jan 2007 
Whether this is your first or 4th Randall read I urge you to don your hat & goggles & race to your nearest bookstore. If the image of Randallin a canoe or on a donkey wasn t enough then one of him trying to impress finely tuned youngsters on the mountains of Mont St Bernard are enough to wake the silent carraige on the train ( as somewhat embarrasingly happended to me!) Russians, wine, close encounters, late nights & typically random Randall stumbles make this another witty & honest portrayal of la vie dans les Alpes de nos jours. Any critisism ? 288 pages too short. Roll on the next one
Another A+, Sir. - By: K. Clifford, 21 Jan 2007 It is a fact widely accepted by friends & family that although I am an enthusiastic starter, willing to give everything a go, it is with less zeal that I finish anything...("Where are you heading with this I hear you cry?")...that is until I read this book...(See I always get therein the end). In fact the end came rather too quickly for my liking. I couldn't put the book down. Indeed this has happened with all of Will Randall's books. This latest offering is no less warm than those basedin sunnier climes & just as insightful & entertaining. In fact Will Randall's "Oh go on then, why not?" attitude to life & the challenges it presentsin all his books, has inspired me to moved to a country where I don't speak the language & see if I too can have some funny adventures- for those of you interested, there have been several to date!
Anyway back to the point. I heartily recommend this book. It will leave you warmer than a couple of pints of vin chaud & itching to get your skis on!
I want to go skiing now! - By: Adam Porter, 16 Jan 2007 
I enjoyed this book. Anyone who likes Bill Bryson & has been anywhere near the slopes will love this. its full of stories of boozy nights, random Russians & skiing misadventures. its not as personal as some of his others- you just get the sense that he had the time of his life & he was lucky enough about being able to write about it- but he does a good englishman abroad.
