The red rocks of Eddystone is very good at catching peoples attention because of its weird stories.

The winds are more interesting to hear about than they are spooky.

Mr. Winstanley was very good at being an architect even though he wasn’t one.

One chimney fell through someone’s house.

Read this book, make sure you get it before you die because it’s very good!

Started off as an interesting read, learning about how the lighthouse was needed and how it was built 4 times. I found to hard to get into as I found there was a lot of information being given not just about the lighthouse

Fascinating book and so well written. However, I should add the first half is far more interesting than the second. The final section is a bit rushed. Very enjoyable though.
