"One of the delights of reviewing books is the unexpected gem that grips you. UFFA, by Malcolm Turner, is one such book! I found myself chuckling out loud at Uffa's childhood exploits, and becoming more curious about his odd mix of skills. Of particular amusement was the details of his floating workshop in Cowes: how it was made, how the old features were reused, the finishing touches his wife added, and how council tax was avoided! I really feel the pace is kept going at all times in this book. Apparently this is what life with Uffa was actually like! His is a fascinating story, well worth reading."
