For some odd reason I seem to have been reading quite a few books related to Spain over the last year. This might have something to do with how I buy books based on Amazon's recommendation system, though I'm not 100% sure.
In any case, A Load of Bull, was one of the books on my wishlist for Christmas this year.
Tim Parfitt ended up in Madrid supposedly for a few weeks to help launch a fashion magazine. Of course Spain being Spain, it sucked him in, so his couple of weeks ended up being several years.
The book, which is written in a very light and amusing style, traces Tim's experiences and adventures as he fell in love with the magic of Madrid and its people and lifestyle.
A Load of Bull truly captivates the reader and you get a strong feeling of how much Tim loves Spain and Madrid in particular. Some of his adventures and how he recounts them had me laughing out loud!
If you have any interest in Spain, then I'd strongly recommend this book, as it's a highly enjoyable read - I literally couldn't put it down and ended up staying up late to finish it!
