I have read everything from Nevil Shute. By far, his best novel is “Trustee From The Toolroom”

That’s my favorite Shute novel too. I’ve read most of his books, but there are a couple I haven’t got hold of yet.

Nevil Shiite wrote some great novels. A TOWN CALLED ALICE is my fave.

I first read Trustee from the Tool Room as one of those Reader’s Digest Condensed Books. Wasn’t until later that I found the full version. Still my favorite.

I always liked “Round the bend”.
