Guy Martin: Worms to Catch book....

Post by badgerKDD »

Has anyone read this latest offering from GM? Read the back cover and wasn't sure if its worth £9.50 of my hard earned cash, seemed a bit like its just retelling his stories from his last TV shows. Opinions please :-\ :-\ .....

Pretty much what you said Badger, going over old ground already covered in earlier books, and what happened in the last shows.

The American bicycle ride is new , I have it and read it , It gives you an insight into his thinking not what the TV people want you to think

I am reading it now. Yes there is a repetition from the TV Series. Not as good as the previous 2 books but still worth reading.
