Review of AMERICAN COASTGUARDS UNST & THE B.P. OILY BLACKS(1978)
[Following is a volunteer review of "AMERICAN COASTGUARDS UNST & THE B.P. OILY BLACKS(1978)" by Dave Husband.]
AMERICAN COASTGUARDS UNST & THE B.P. OILY BLACKS (1978) by Dave Husband is a fascinating brief book that chronicles his turbulent existence in the UK. There are a lot of amusing and thrilling, positive and negative parts in this intriguing novel. At the age of 16, Dave began working in the construction business as an inventory analyst in training. He would subsequently depart for Liverpool to begin his career. Dave would continue on the job for years on projects throughout England, Scotland, and Wales, where he experienced a variety of situations. While traveling for a rugby game, Dave had brief encounters with the coastguards, which led to explorations in the club, mess, hotel, and camp.
Dave had a good time working on building projects during his time in the United Kingdom, documenting feelings of joy as well as sorrow. The part in which they play rugby with the island of Unst opposite a British Air Force squad is among the fun to read. The Americans completely embarrass themselves since they don't know the regulations. A few passages also talk about nostalgia for home, or what the memoirist refers to as the "Sullom Voe blues," or the feeling of leaving their house and family and friends. What impact will Dave's time spent working in the development sector have on his personal life going forward? What kind of hazard did the Carillon Corporation pose? Explore Dave's travels in the UK and get the solutions concerning these inquiries by having a look at this book.
This book was enjoyable to me because the narrative is brief yet comprehensive. It became a pleasant experience to devour Dave's journey to the British Isles. From the World Wars to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Dave tells a story full of historical personalities and events. Personalities like Barbara, Doc, the Prof., Terry, and Tex added a thrilling element to Dave's travels. The complicated nature of job surroundings was highlighted by Dave's experiences in the design and building sector, both pleasurable and terrifying. I appreciate how the author gives each character in the story reality, making everyone likable, entertaining, and relevant. I was amused each time I saw Americans commit mistakes in a rugby match and unintentionally hurt other players to compensate since they didn't know the rules. I really enjoyed his description of the Shetland Islands' distant location and stunning, nevertheless desolate, scenery.
My rating for this book is five stars out of five. I thoroughly enjoyed consuming this engrossing short story from start to finish. I only discovered one typographical problem, indicating that this work had been professionally edited. The narrative was brief and entertaining; Dave utilized straightforward language free of unclear words, and I didn't find any aspects of this book objectionable.
I recommend that those who enjoy memoirs should read this book. Individuals are going to be eager to absorb knowledge from Dave's encounters.
