Simoman 110 Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Its a diary of 12 months :11: Your mission should you choose to accept it is to seperate fact from fiction.............. If you want a good read try Tales of a Rat Hunting Man Rogues and Running Dogs The Working Terrier Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Frank Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Its a great bed time read I read it and found it very captivating, but i wonderd if it was all true, or some made up. Dont know the guy, never met him, so cant comment on the poor fella, but the book is good. Frank. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JDF Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 i'm sure over the years i've read them all,if you treat them with the right amount of scepticisim(a lot)then they're a good read imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest oldskool Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 alot of it was probably made up crap, i dont see how he found time to do all that he said he did?? not only was he a pro boxer (an activity that can take up half a life time) who also trained pro boxers when he finished but he was also a multiple linguist, as well as a spell in the army (i think?).... how do you fit that all in? especially when your pumpin out about 2 books a year plus writing for shooting times etc whether it was crap or not, every time i read his books i wish i could live like he said he did... ... every natural hunter has a wee thing in them that wants to have no ties and live off the land like nature intended IMO!!!

jimmyg 6 Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 "Diary of a bullshitter" is more apt, ive read most of his books when i was younger and more naive, but ive got to say in all fairness the fell terrier and the complete Jack Russell Terrier and not forgeting the first half of tales of rat hunting man are some of my favorites, the rest are mostly fantasy,if you really want to read utter shite anything by S Frain really Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest stantheman Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 D/B/P was a great story teller, I/v got all his books and theres some good storys in them, my first book was Rogues and running dogs, a very good book. Stan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
