Re: Blood Knots - Luke Jennings- dont miss this book!
Well after reading the glowing reviews from many of you gentlemen I have dug deep and forked out £2.67 for a copy. A good winters read I am hoping.

i've just finished it, a brilliant read and a suprise as i was very aware of one of the main characters in a previous exsistance.
My wife also read it, she actually enjoyed the book and admits she now has an insight as to why i fish........now thats got to be good.

Cracking book and well deserved reviews.

Following the reviews by you chaps I purchased a copy and must say that it was a great read I am now starting to read another recommended read that I purchased after reading reviews on this forum. It is 'For all those left behind' and first impressions are that I will enjoy it immensely. Thanks for pointing me in the direction of these fine books.

I've just read a review of the book and decided to buy a copy.
Sounds worth a read.

Re: Blood Knots - Luke Jennings- dont miss this book!
This arrived today. I thought I'd have a read of the first page to see whether or not I'd get into it. Four pages later I can't put it down and had to make myself because I had things to do.
Really looking forward to reading it properly now.

Re: Blood Knots - Luke Jennings- dont miss this book!
I've just finished reading Blood Knots & I for what's its worth, I enjoyed it.
I wouldn't class this book as a fishing book, it's more of an autobiography that includes some fishing.
Lots of history & insight into 1960's public school life that seems a world away.
I wouldn't say it was a classic but I'm glad I read it.
