Paul Torday - Salmon Fishing In The Yemen I didn’t think much to this book. The plot’s a bit shit and the characters are all two-dimensional ‘types’ and it’s written as a series of correspondence (i.e. a cop-out for a writer who doesn’t know how to string a proper chapter together), but it’s about salmon and I used to live on a salmon farm. I’m going to lend it to my Dad (he totally used to work for the company that Torday based McSalmon Aqua Farms on) so he can get all indignant about how this isn’t right and that’s not how salmon behave and doesn’t this Torday guy know anything? Should be fun.
