Summary: Celtic magic and Caledonian missadventure.
Comment: I thought Bill Watkins would find it hard to top his first book "A Celtic Childhood" but he's done it! "Scotland Is Not For the Squeamish" is a rip-roaring, 'seat of the pants' adventure that will thrill Scotophiles and armchair travelers alike. His discriptions of Scotland and its hardy people sing out from the page in crackling poetic imagery. History and song blend to fill the reader with salty tales of the high seas and earthy stories of everyday life in pre-oil boom Aberdeen and the magical city of Edinburgh. Though his contorted trail takes him up mountains and down mine shafts, panning gold in the Highlands and fishing for cod in the Arctic, he entertains another ambition; to become a Druid! See how he gets on in this feast of a book. Hurry up and write the next one, Bill. I can hardly wait to see what happens next!

Summary: Wild Bill does it again!
Comment: Contrary to the notion that a sequel is never as good as the original, Bill Watkins has shown that you can improve on a good thing. Scotland is Not for the Squeamish brings the "coming of age" story to new heights. Bill's storytelling expertise transfers to the written word equally as well. I could actually hear the thick Scottish brogue in his dialogue, could feel the water spray on the North Sea, and could see the beauty of Scotland through his eyes; even though I've never been there myself. As is usually the case with a good book, I couldn't put it down, staying up to all hours of the night trying to find out what would happen next. Can't wait for Part 3 to come out! Bravo, Bill!
