Paul Carter tells his tales of working on oil rigs like very few others can. This book is literally "laugh out loud" funny. Written by an Australian and from an Aussie view point, non-Australian readers may not enjoy the humour as much as I did, but I guarantee that you will like the book and will probably read it more than once and pass it on to friends. It has been selling very, very well here in Australia since its release. It's really is a "don't miss" book.
