Is Harry on the boat?

Is Harry on the boat? Yes he most certainly is! This book, not for the prim and proper, encaptures all the thrills and spills of a young persons holiday abroad. The storyline, or lack of, only adds to the overall flavour of the book.The book focuses on the lives of some holiday reps that are currently working in Ibiza. The detailing of their activities is superb and really captivates the reader. Colin Butt's portrayal of young people and what they get up to on their holiday is spot on. He is a realistic writer, who is definitely in tune with a young person's mind. He knows what people go on holiday for and how they plan to get it.The story, although slightly non-existent in places, still manages to keep the reader enthralled and waiting to find out what happens next. His descriptions of sexual activity are vivid and at times comical. His terminology for such activities are fantastic and had me in stitches!I thoroughly enjoyed reading this whilst I myself was on holiday. It made the perfect read whilst sitting by the pool! A thoroughly enjoyable read if you want something light-hearted, entertaining and X-rated!

WICKED

I only have one thing to say: Go buy this book. It is one of the funniest things I have ever read. I was a rep last season, and the book tells the thruth... Seen from a mans perspective...... Anyway, wicked, brilliant, excellent, fantastic book.... Made we want to go back for another season, cause I really miss it!!!!!

Pack it in your suitcase

It's easy to dismiss this novel as summer trash. And against more worthy titles it might be considered so. Only the words "critically acclaimed" often mean something is dull and no-one bought it. This book is fun. The attention centres around Brad, a first year rep with Young, Free and Single. Of course he has his fair share of sexual conquests, and there is the "competition" amongst the staff as to which rep is the most promiscuous. It is set in Ibiza after all. But it is by no means a dumb sex and sun novel. Colin Butts has done an excellent job of filling us in on the characters, the shy Lorraine, the vain Mario. All the time the plot ticks along, and there is a plot. Back at head office there are financial irregularities about to be exposed, which conclude with the managers descending on the resort. I read this book while in Gran Canaria and thoroughly enjoyed it.
