Don't Tell Mum I Work On The Rigs, She Thinks I'm A Piano Player In A Whorehouse by Paul Carter

4.0

A very enjoyable read of what in essence is the escapades of a rigger. Working in the oil industry myself, but never having been unlucky enough to be on a rig, but having heard enough stories about them to ensure I don´t really want to, this is a good book to read. Funny and fast paced, yes the language is crude, but this is a very male dominated, somewhat macho environment, so thats to be expected, it´s a good holiday read. My only complaint would be that he moves from place to place at astonishing speed and I would have liked him to flesh out the places and people a little more.
Recommended to those in the industry and those that are a little interested.
