A Riveting Read

I've mentioned Obooko a couple of times as a site where one can download free e-books. You need to register with the site. You will receive one notification email from them but no unwanted mail after that.

In the non-fiction - biography section is Blood, Sweat and Tea by Tom Reynolds.



The book is based on the entries made by Tom in a blog he writes.
He is an ambulance medic working in London and details some of his experiences on the job.
I found it very difficult to put down, a riveting read throughout.
It can be downloaded in pdf, epub or kindle versions.
It looks as though the original blog included some photographs but they don't show in the epub version I installed.

Synopsis from the Obooko site:

Back in 2003, an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) working for the London Ambulance Service began writing a blog. It turned into this book.
Hold tight and get ready for fast-paced, graphic accounts of the daily life of an EMT on the busy streets of London. It's funny and heartwarming yet tragic and profound in parts, reflecting the realities of providing emergency services in an inner-city environment.
