[Regency Reader · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book. My late husband worked on the oilrigs and all the rig jargon and terminology brought back happy memories. The book is full of antidotes and humorous in places and gives a good incite to life of the rigs, especially pre health and safety. A good refreshing read
