Brilliant I loved it. - By: A. Southerton, 19 Jun 2007 
Another brilliant book by Alan Titchmarsh,he certainly knows how to spin a good yarn.He manages to bring to life the ruggedness of Cornwall & the lives of his characters, the neighbourliness of boat owners(including a very independant cat) & through it all a nice chunk of a love story,what more could anyone want? My advice...Buy & enjoy this book.
A great read - By: Rosie, 12 Jun 2006 The Last Lighthouse Keeper, written by the TV personality Alan Titchmarsh is a traditional romantic novel. Within the novel, the storyline follows many unexpected paths with many twists & turns of the plot.
The story follows a lighthouse keeper who fallsin love with the newcomer to the town, an artist. However, their love will not be easy as someone is there to make sure things don't run smoothly will the lighthouse keepers new love blossom into something forever or will the stranger getin the way? The book consists of love, boats & strange unexpected moments.
This book was pleasantly surprising as I wasn't expecting to be such a page turner. Alan Titchmarsh to me was just a gardener not a novelist. I would recommend this book to girls of all ages as it is a light enjoyable read. This is a perfect read for a holiday.
Run of The Mill - By: , 27 Nov 2002 
I am sorry to say I was sadly disappointed with this book. I thought although the storyline was quite original it just didn't keep me engrossed. Ok to pick up & carry on where you left off (but also very easy to keep putting it down.) It was mildly humourous but too slow to get into the main story.
I loved this book by Alan Titchmarsh - By: , 28 Jan 2002 
I loved this book by Alan Titchmarsh, I must admit that this is the first I have read. I loved the description of Cornwall, the sea & I could imagine the inside of Will's boat. I thought that when Will went offin his boat & the young lady artist watched him go off into the sunset, I thought that would be the end of the 'relationship.
However at the end of the book, the young lady decided to go with Will & I wish there could be a follow up book about the two characters as it would be interesting to read.
I'm interestedin Lighthouses & the Sea & it proves that Alan is a good writer & also proves that he has another string to his bow as well as being a gardener.
To anyone who hasn't read the book I recommend it.
I liked it! - By: , 09 Aug 2001 Alan Titchmarsh!!! I was somewhat disturbed by the idea of reading a book by Alan Titchmarsh...being just a bit too young to drool over the horticultural hunk, (but just old enough to remember 'Pebble Mill'...)
BUT, I really enjoyed this book. I loved the boaty setting & the chunky-jumperedness of the tousled-haired 'Titchmarsh but younger'-type protagonist.
One criticism - the whole Amy Finn & her angry ex thing...come on, now!! But, you can easily accept all this silliness (a ballet dancer turned artist, who spends her evenings alone, playing the cello...I mean, really!), & not let it interfere with your enjoyment of the book.
A great holiday read... and, well, maybe Titchy does have a certain something....
