A brilliant and compelling view of Britain from a few inches above its neglected waterways
Simon Usborne, The Independent
A delicious, cleansing, funny, wise and joyful book, so wonderfully full of energy and life. I loved it
Jane Gardam
A travel book like no other, it is rich and deep with insights on modern Britain
The Independent
A wonderful and romantic tale told by a true English eccentric...think Ratty, think Mole, think three men falling out of a boat...enchanting
Michele Roberts, Financial Times
Charmingly and elegantly written
Daily Telegraph
Deakin has written an aquatic Songlines.
Heathcote Williams
Erudite, funky and passionate, a total delight
Independent on Sunday
Highly entertaining...Waterlog is a book about a cold, wet subject written with a warmth and passion it surely deserves, but has rarely had before
Guardian
I jumped in with both feet and wanted to stay for more.
Griff Rhys-Jones
Roger Deakin is the perfect companion for invigorating armchair swim. Engaging, thoughtful and candid, he also has a wonderful eye
Peter Marren, Telegraph Weekend
