Rating: Summary: A wonderful introduction to a wondrous island Review: David McFadden's book introduces the reader to Newfoundland in a warm, humorous and personal way. This was one of the first books I read to research a trip to Newfoundland. It was by far and away the best. Eschewing the typical "must go there, must see this" style of travel books, it focuses on the people and the land in a
unique fashion. And that makes it all the more fun.
His accounting of the people he meets make you want to meet them too. His advice on driving, "watch out for moose" is accurate; you can't find coffee at convenient stores on the roads is true; and the decorations on houses is wonderfully on target.
This book more than any other I read was the best preparation for the trip. The only thing better than this book about Newfoundland is actually being there.
