In Praise Of… Alan Johnston’s book

December 4th, 2007 by Dave Leave a reply »

I’ve almost finished Alan Johnston’s book, ‘Kidnapped’.

Well, I say book, it’s more of a collection of transcipts. But it’s still fantastic. What I love about it is that it’s so immediate. Had I gone through what Alan has, I would have perhaps taken a step back for a while before trying to define my experiences with words.

But why? Emotions are at their very best when first produced. So to hear this story so soon after Alan’s release is perhaps the best way to digest it. There will be plenty of time for a delayed, more considered look back in Johnston’s autobiography.

Highly recommended.
