This book chronicles the author’s voyage around Ireland in a kayak. Non-fiction books are usually not my thing, but this one was as beautifully written as any sea-set adventure. Admittedly, I am an avid kayaker, I love the sea and my coast, and I had personal knowledge of the setting of the book. Still, I think everyone would enjoy Jasper’s descriptions of his adventures at sea, of our epic coastline, and of his childhood in West Cork. Four stars out of five. Warning- there is a LOT of kayaking on this book.

Stumbled across Book Heaven and your review of Paddle. Many thanks for the positive words. Which bit of coast do you kayak on? There’s a lot of drinking and music and muddling along as well as paddling, in Paddle, isn’t there, Best, Jasper
West Cork. I usually go out around the Old Head, and Garretstown, and Reen pier. It can be a bit of a trek- I live between Clon and Ross, so sometimes I just go out off the Warren. Really loved the book, especially since I love kayaking, and also because I actually know the places well, and I’ve paddled there before.
Thanks a million for your comment, it’s really cool to have an author comment!
