( )I read the first chapter of Tom Parker Bowles The Year of Eating Dangerously, thenI gave it up. I hardly ever give up books but I do wonder if TPB hadn't been the son of Camilla Parker Bowles who is now married to the future King of England he would he even have got it published. The first chapter was all about fishing for elvers on the Severn Bore - a river with a huge tidal wave - and in 40 pages never came to a climax but introduced large numbers of people by name he met in the pub, on the river, around a campfire, in some other place or perhaps another one or maybe on a motorbike... and it just ended. No climax at all. Just ok, there you are. Next chapter. Yawn. I read the first chapter of Tom Parker Bowles The Year of Eating Dangerously, thenI gave it up.
