You'd be wet behind the ears to miss this

"Soggy Saturday" is a powerful and challenging piece of polemic, in which the author and renowned weather forecaster Phyllis Root shatters our perceptions of meteorology and leaves us questioning our faith and self-belief. The reader is grabbed by the attention to detail and reasoned arguments displayed by Root as she points out that "sometimes on Saturdays the sun comes out". The hilarious anecdote about "that Saturday two Decembers ago when it snowed" will have you laughing out loud, and the touching third chapter - "one Saturday it got a bit foggy" - left this reviewer reaching for the Kleenex. Fans of Root's previous work will not be disappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed her last two books, "Saturated Sunday" and "Muggy Monday". "Soggy Saturday" is, essentially, more of the same, but when Root's compelling prose is as enjoyable as it is captivating, that really is no bad thing. I hear she's already planning a sequel - "Wet Wednesday". I, for one, will be pre-ordering it as soon as possible. Not to be missed.
