 Very disappointed May 11, 2008

I have seen Alan Titchmarsh on television and I like his style. I threw this book in the compost heap, after reading about half of it. As I could not stand the swearing in it. Why can we not have a system of gradings so I do not have to waste my time buying books with "bad" language.
 Simply brilliant October 30, 2006
It has been a very long time since I enjoyed a novel as much as I did this one. Having read many of Alan Titchmarsh's gardening books, which in my opinion are first class, I was really surprised that he is also such a great fiction writer. The story is funny, with a lot of surprises and also a few deeper moments. This was the first novel I bought written by Alan Titchmarsh and I am looking forward to reading the other ones too.
A gripping storyline with many little surprises. June 16, 2001

This is an excellent first attempt by Alan (later to be followed by two more classics!) The storyline is gripping and there are many unpredictable little twists to the plot along the way. I don't find books easy to read but it's difficult to put this one down - it's the sort of book you think about during the day at work. I recommend this book without reservation.
 A good novel. February 3, 2001

This is a good book for an author's first novel, but it lacks a certain something. It hasnn't got the same happy glow to it as his other two books have (The Last Lighthouse Keeper & Animal Instincts), but it is a good novel all the same.
Not bad for a jobbing gardener November 23, 2000
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This was fairly well written and no more far fetched in the romance stakes than many other books I've read by full time writers. The character of Rob was nicely drawn. I expect he was quite easy to do as he seems to be Alan with the name changed. It wasn't too heavy on the horticulture either, which was one thing I was dreading and the sub plot concerning Rob's Dad and his nursery was quite interesting and believably sentimental.
