I downloaded this from the iBook store and read it on my iPhone, something that I didn’t think that I’d ever be able to do on such a relatively small screen, but I did and it was an excellent book, well-suited to the small screen. Tom Reynolds is the pseudonym of an inner London ambulance driver, a man who has written a blog about his daily life and the strange things that happen in said job. This book collects the blog entries into an agreeable collection. They each take just a few minutes to read and they’re perfect for those moments in the toilet where you just need something to read. It became quite addictive, where you just need to read one more–then just another…okay, maybe another and then that’s it. I spent quite a few hours just lying in bed (in the dark, which is really an advantage with a backlit screen like the iPhone’s) reading about all the strange occurences in this man’s job. It’s great fun and makes you learn about what these people actually do who work for the ambulance services and some of the crap that they have to put up with.
Both this book and it’s sequel, which I’m still to read, are available for free on the amazon kindle and the iBook store so check it out.
