The Loch.. as in Nessie here I come.

Wow, do I have a lot to say about this read. Ye might want to grab ye self a glass o' Scotch, it'll be a long one. This is Bell's book and a recommended read due to the fact that we will be on Loch Ness in a few short months.

Book Check:
541 pages
Published in 2005
3rd book for June
Bell's book
Main character: Zachary
Fiction but with lots of Scotland history and geography.
There are actual experts from real sightings in between chapters.
Darwin is quoted in the book and his ideas.
Notes to the Tower of London; we will be there too!
I could be content hunting Nessie for the rest of my life.

Loch Notes, Thoughts and Ideas:
There are at least 10,000 known reported sightings at Loch Ness, but less than a third of these are actually recorded. -Dr. Roy Mackall

Loch means Lake

First sighting was 1400 years ago.

Quotes:
"There's only one way to develop the mind and that's to read."

"There are two theories in arguing with a woman and neither of 'em work."

"The Loch's not known for giving up her dead."

"Ducks and swans don't mate."

Recommending to: Ian
