Paul Oldham reviewed Down the Hatch by John 1931- Winton
Winton finds the right tone
3 stars
This is the third book in the series starring the Bodger and to my mind the best. He's lost the serious elements, which he didn't handle well in 'We Joined The Navy' and toned down the sexism too. It's still very much a period read but it's a lot better and more enjoyable.
Also book 26 of 52 and we're not yet at the end of June so that's good news.
