Ladlit but a wonderful heartwarming tale - Rated
You Are Here is about the rite of passage of 4 thirtysomething males in 2001 as they reach a crossroads in their lives. The 4 contrasting friends embark on a vacation to Crete and we learn a lot about their characters through flashbacks and their current careers....Office boy Dave is cool and good-looking; Credit controller Phil is a chubby clown; Estate Agent Tony is a shy thinker and salesman Gavin is a suave man of routine. Things come to a head in Crete as the catalyst of new relationships come into play. We get a really good feel for the Cretan landscape and meet some wonderfully constructed supporting characters; Theo the zany rock music loving barman & Albert the mysterious old ex-pat in particular. Through a number if comedic and poignant scenes we observe as Gavin, Tony and Dave all find soul partners whilst Phil faces up the stark reality of loneliness without his mates. The pick of the sub plots is Dave and posh carefree traveller Elsie as they take an incredible scooter trek. The book ends on a high note despite the backdrop of 9/11 being fittingly introduced as the start of a new world.
I have to say I really enjoyed this book and only gave it 4 stars as it was little bit too rude or erotic for my liking in some places. There is no denying that the story itself is written with a real passion and having read Steve Horsfall's 2nd book (It's Cold Outside) I would say the author has an absolute gift in creating wonderful rounded and colourful characters. You Are Here really does bring some sunshine into your life

Not exactly quality writing - Rated
Four thirtysomething single men go on a birds-and-booze package holiday to the Med. Hardly breaking new ground, but, if you can get beyond the amateurish writing - it reads like a feature-length third form essay with its spelling mistakes, appalling grammatical errors and clumsily constructed sentences - you'll find it's quite an absorbing tale. Fine for the beach or a long train journey.
Summer Season Review 3 - Rated
The Malia Book club almost agree as one (Sci-Fi Nigel was the dissenter) that this was the best read of the summer. A very fresh writing style with great main and supporting characters that also captures the mood of Crete so well. Öáíôáóôéêüò
Great holiday read - Rated
I read this on holiday and it was the perfect way to pass some of the spare hours. It's a tale of four lads on a pulling holiday in the sun. Gavin, Phil, Tony and Dave go every year on a "campaign" to pull as many women as possible, with varying degrees of success. These lad lit books seem to be coming ever more popular and this is certainly one of the best ones I've read. There's lots of knowing nods that most guys can relate to (the sad mate with his lucky pulling shirt for example!). I think women would probably enjoy this book too, as it's a refreshing change to read rom-com's from the male point of view. Mind you, reading the antics of these four lads did make my own holiday seem a little dull in comparison!!
You Are Here - Rated
This is a superb book; following the lives and misadventures of 4 thirty something 'lads', that is completely 'I've got to read this again straight away' fantastic. Absolutely hysterical! Make this book an essential part of your summer holidays this year, but be warned, this is not for prudes. After reading this, you'll just want to book that holiday. Buy this book this summer!
