Modern NZ Cricket Greats

By Dylan Cleaver

5 stars

Watching cricket free to air this summer, got me reading this recent book about New Zealands best players. Well put together with a chapter on each of our best modern players. Good read.
I'm in a United State

By Paul Henry

5 stars

I guess you either like him or you don't but I found this a highly entertaining read about his home in Palm Springs, USA during Covid times and back in NZ.
My Brothers War

By David Hill

3 stars

Continuing reading books by this author but not one of my favourite ones. Fairly predictable storyline regarding brothers taking different paths to end up at war in Europe.
Coast Watcher

By David Hill

5 stars

Continuing reading the same author, this was about soldiers in the Solomon Islands in 1943 while the Japenese were on the run. Excellent read about interactions with some of the locals and outlined how challenging the heat and conditions were.
Inside the Cup

By Phil Gifford

4 stars

Phil Gifford writes a really good insight into All Black rugby world cup campaigns from the beginning in 1987 through to 2015. Interesting characters revealed like how massive Jonah was globally and some challenging relationships between coaches.
Brave Company

By David Hill

4 stars

Another easy read book by David Hill, this time about a young Kiwi lad who goes off to Korea in the Navy during the Korean War, 1951. Plenty of action and story about courage and family redemption.
Liquid Gold

By Owen Clough

3 stars

Set in the future when water runs out In Australia and they attempt to invade NZ. Our technology is superior and defeats them. Interesting concept looking into what future technology could look like.
Enemy Camp

By David Hill

5 stars

Story about the prisoner of war camp in Featherston during WW11. An easy read told in the words of a young local schoolboy. Enjoyed learning more about something that I knew little of as a local resident.
Winx

By Andrew Rule

5 stars

If you are interested in racing, this is an awesome read about the full story of probably the greatest racehorse we will see in our generation. Easy read and some excellent photos throughout.
In My Fathers Den

By Maurice Gee

4 stars

Really good book, well written and although the story line is quite sad and dark, it kept me interested and wanting to keep reading.
