    4.0 out of 5 stars living the dream in Symi
    Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2013

    I read James's book on the plane back from Rhodes, having spent a fabulous week on Symi.
    It's a lovely read, full of fun and witty observations, but also a valuable advice resource for anyone thinking of making a leap. James and his partner have done what millions only get to dream about, and I have to admire their resilience and persistence in creating an amazing life on Symi. Loved the book for it's realism and a beautifully portrayed sense of wonder at the value of the simple things in life. They are amongst my heroes!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely brilliantly observed and a wicked wit!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 9, 2016
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    I loved this honest and highly amusing account of leaving it all behind and heading to a Greek island. James has a brilliant command of the English language and makes it altogether much more fun than English language ever was at school! If I was to follow in James and Neil's footsteps then this is the book I would tuck under my arm and head to Greece with. I cannot wait to read it again.....and again.....and again.....I want to be buried with it - which may well be sooner than I think since I nearly died laughing during some of his witty observations!

    Yep indeed. However Amazon continue to avoid taxes. I never had the chance - it was always taken from my pay. All VAT is paid at the point of sale. Amazaon have millions but won't pay their fair share of taxes, no wonder we're in a mess. If you agree please point this out in your reviews
