INITIAL REVIEW: A TOWN LIKE ALICE by NEVIL SHUTE

I have just been told that I've rated A Town Like Alice with only 3 stars. Actually, I was merely giving a status update not a star rating. So, to put matters right and keep Shutists happy, I've upgraded it to five stars as I know it is a wonderful book and I am thoroughly enjoying it. Nevil Shute has been one of my heroes since I was a teenager and I've written a lot about him in my own book, The Airshipmen, where he is a major player and very lovable. So, apologies to you Nevil up there in your big silver airship R100 in the heavens--an awesome machine!
I cannot wait to read the rest of his books again as he gave me so much inspiration through his writing and his courage as an aviator. I will write a more in depth review for A Town Like Alice soon.
