Having just finished it I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the earlier chapters on the Big S. Only thing I would say is if you have seen the YouTube clips then the last two chapters are an anticlimax. Only thing that spoilt it really.

Haven’t read Pennings book yet, but just finished Terry’s latest. I decided to read it a chapter at a time, to allow each water to seep in, as it were.
I really liked it, particularly the way he described his approach to each challenge. Always a sucker for a good story on waters that have not been done to death in other writings, and found the chapters that he had already done for ESP gave something extra.
Slippery Seal was my personal favorite, lovely cunning old fish!

Have to say , glad I got it , reading it in stages not in order . The esp videos have eaten into the desire to read some chapters , not because I know the story rather that Tel telling it makes it better .
I skipped strait to big S , somewhere I should have fished , but smoking mirrors about who was a bailiff etc see me chucked off . The main reason I was looking at it was that I stocked a few really nice looking fish into it many years before Tel fished it .

I finished 'through the mist' last night,
my wife who stayed up until 03.30 on the launch night to get it for me asked "well was it worth all the hype and effort ?"
I of course replied " yeh great" ,
not really though, found it fairly hard going, and unlike his first two easy to put down. As others have said, his videos which I love, meant I knew most of the stories already.
However just started Adam Pennings book and that seems very good so far 👌

Fair point, I’ve avoided them ever since they sacked Eamonn Holmes.

I'd suggest Oz Holness book then.
It's definitely the most inspiring carp fishing books I have ever read - the way he describes his mindset, approach and determination to his fishing lead to me making a few changes and having one of my best years angling ever.

I finally got around to reading a copy, thanks to a mate 
My thoughts are that if I had not seen the videos and read the articles then this would be up there with his other two. Unfortunately I already knew the stories, or at least most of them.
Good point earlier about this and Dave Lane’s last book. I never even finished Dave’s last book, found it incredibly dull. I think the grit and subsidence of their earlier books and lifestyles made for more interesting reading.
Maybe it’s me but I haven’t really enjoyed a carp book for ten years or so.

Got to agree with you on the pictures being dark but my copy hasnt got the print problems , it has got smudges of blue ink on some of the pages though. Its well written ( unlike my posts 😂😂  but i think the markets been flooded with these type of books now and they're all pretty much the same. Getting a bit boring, i got to the burghfield chapter and couldnt be bothered to read it so stuck it back on the book shelf with the other 40 or so books...

I must be lucky. My copy only has very very minor print issues. A bit of faded text twice in the whole book.
