This is a duplicate copy released at York. 

Journal Entry 2 by causticangel from Cambridge, Cambridgeshire United Kingdom on Monday, June 06, 2005

Sorry about the delay! I thought I'd journalled this, then realised I hadn't.

Finished the book yesterday, and it is a most bizarre story! It's well told as well, which is a good think as it is not, I think, intrinsically interesting and a bit repetitive. Glad I read it though, thank you. Will probably take it to the next York meet, but may pass it on to a friend or wild release it. Please let me know if you have a preference.

ETA: Am taking it to the Unconvention in Birmingham. :)

A bit of a story behind this one.

The book ended up in my hands after a Glasgow meet up. JCW2004 said she had not been able to journal the book because the BCID on the label came up for a different book. I did a bit of PMing and Phantomcougar kindly PMed me the correct BCID. I believe JCW2004 might have picked the book up at a joint Edinburgh/Glasgow meet during the Book Festival.

Sadly, I have tried to read this book and didn't enjoy it. However, I think this book is meant to travel so I may put it on a bookray.

Journal Entry 6 by Karenlea from Glendale, California USA on Friday, May 12, 2006

Caught!!! This book looks fun. I have a few rings/rays in front of it, but I should be able to start it soon. It looks like a fast read too.

Thank You to Drusillamac for sharing!!! Thanks for including the BC postcard...I think I need to buy some myself!!! 

Journal Entry 7 by Karenlea from Glendale, California USA on Tuesday, June 06, 2006

Initial thought- How can they afford to travel so much??? I am so envious!!! The book was a fun read. I agree with a previous reader, that it was a little repetitive. I think the story works because it's quirky. Also, both Danny and Dave are funny. I laughed-out-loud at several points in the book.

Thank you for sharing. This book will be posted to the next reader tomorrow afternoon.

Received and currently reading (can't put this down - this man has my sense of humour - do you think he will give it me back??!!!) 

Journal Entry 9 by mrspopoff from Nottingham, not specified not specified on Friday, June 23, 2006

Brilliant book - will have you laughing out loud. I envy him so much that he could just take off at a whim where-ever in the world! Does get a little repetitive at times but his brilliant sense of humour carries it along! Onto the next bookcrosser! 

Journal Entry 10 by pumpkin-head from Glasgow, Scotland United Kingdom on Tuesday, July 11, 2006

Was waiting for me when I got home tonight. I saw a bit of the TV series and hoping the book is as good. 

Journal Entry 11 by pumpkin-head from Glasgow, Scotland United Kingdom on Friday, July 14, 2006

I really enjoyed this, it was daft and entertaining but also well written with Dave and Dan bouncing off each other continously. Poor Hanne! 

Journal Entry 12 by bean-frog from Sheffield, South Yorkshire United Kingdom on Thursday, July 20, 2006

Journal Entry 13 by bean-frog from Sheffield, South Yorkshire United Kingdom on Tuesday, August 01, 2006

I really enjoyed this book. It was very funny, the interaction between Dave and Danny is superb. I hope everyone else enjoys this book as much as I did!

Have pm'd c-a-m for address.

Journal Entry 15 by Drusillamac from Glasgow, Scotland United Kingdom on Monday, April 09, 2007

I thought an update on this ray was in order. Several new people have joined since this ring was created and, due to that, there has been some confusion over the mailing order. I am waiting to hear back from c-a-m to see if they can pass the book onto the next readers and get this ray moving again.

Thanks to all participants for their patience :-)
