Paul and James's Naturist Adventure

When I got this book in softcover paperback edition...I first read three chapters of adventures the boys had. It was interesting to know what was happening in their life of an story-telling in naturists having naturism experiences. I then later on reading the events that happened...but I didn't know any about homosexuality between those boys were mentioned until the event in some chapters story as told. It was very interesting turn by turn pages when reading of both boys' life as naturists and theirs families altering to become naturists wasn't easy until one day when one of the boys suggested an ideal persuade for their own families to try out by becoming an popular naturalized naturist. Opinions do vary widely in this book about one or many naturist adventures that the boys experienced may or may not differentiate such curiousity of being a naturist even a first time adventure will may inspire to try out and become an naturist.

Considering the many activities taking place at home this is more a nudist than a naturist adventure, but fun all the same. The book gives you an enjoyable description of the situations that may develop when your children suddenly discover the joys of clothesfree living. The story is fairly realistic as it describes the boys exploring the possibilities of nudism and their parents showing varying degrees of enthusiasm but at least being generally positive. The naturist day at the local garden centre however is pure fantasy. Such events were very rare in the 70's and 80's and when this book was first published in 2012 these playful attempts to get nudity accepted as normal no longer happened at all. Apart from this I found the book a very nice read and a not too unconvincing story about families becoming practising nudists.

I got this because (frankly) I was curious. As described in the promo the story sounded somewhat unlikely but I decided to buy because I'd been something of a boyhood nudist (in private). I wondered how my experience might compare to that of others. I found the writing style quite stilted and rather repetitious about lack of clothing. At times the tale read as little more than an apology for a clothing optional lifestyle. That got old in a hurry, but so did the numbers of happy coincidences where one person after another fell in line with naturism (there were a few exceptions but overall the cast took off their clothes at the drop of a dime). The odd and relatively unexpected twist of the love between Paul and James arrived suddenly, with some mess, and then a smooth conclusion. Overall the naked and sexual side was given innocently and with nothing salacious or provocative in my view, though I know there are those who'd find people going around unclothed to be very upsetting and improper. I'm glad I bought it.

I need to pa attention better, I didn't realize this was a book. I wouldn't have ordered it. But now that it's here it looks like a good read, so I'll read it.

fun story of 2 boys falling in love with a nudist or "naturist" lifestyle.after watching a nude man in the woods near their home Paul and James give nudism a try and fall in love with it.They soon befriend other nudists and enjoy a series of adventures.The cover alone is worth the price of admission.Don't expect a lot of action,and be prepared for some British slang.The funniest one to me was calling athletic shoes "trainers" it makes me think of training pants for infants but its referring to athletic shoes {thanks Wikipedia} but it's a fun read. with a great surprise

After stringing you along and talking only about innocent naturism, this book turns sexual at the end. I have no problems if a book is about sex, just let us know in the description so those of us who don't want to read about teens hooking up can look elsewhere. Tossing my copy in the trash.

I wish they relise some books like this one very good history & it keep you reading all the time amazing book .

The written style was at times a bit amaturish and the author really pushed the idea of how great "naturism" is. However, the charactors and their relationship, care and love for each other was very heartwarming. The boys went on interesting adventures and gained interesting insights. The ending was rather dramatic and emotional. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the development and feelings of young boys growing into adolescence and beginning to explore their sexuality.

This is a very idealistic, "Disney-like" story in which every situation has a harmonious, and regularly an all-too-perfect outcome. It is a very unrealistic fantasy set in a contemporary Britain (at the time of publication) in which there is no antagonist - every 'scene' ends with smiles and an ideal, happy ending. That's not exactly how life is and a more realistic tale may sit better in the realm of teen-support liturature. However it remains a nice, easy to read story, assumedly written to support pubescent readers (boys especially) through their, often challenging, adolescence and the very liberating naturist lifestyle. My greatest disappointment in this publication, written and published IN England (where English is allegedly revered) and for English children, is the author's apparent confusion and consequential misuse of words like "past" and "passed" - "incidentally" and "coincidentally" - and even more frustratingly, the misuse of the words "there, their and they're". (Was this book even passed by an editor?) Bottom of page 244: "... I'm not sure how we'll contact Katie and her mum if they not there 'cos I never got there phone number ..." That's very poor.

Hello, All right book received this morning.. Well packed, promptly arrived. Very original topic in this summertime novel. Best Regards Philippe

Eine Geschichte über zwei 14-jährige Jungs, die FKK für sich entdecken. Der eine oder andere Leser könnte durch das Buch vielleicht selber dazu inspiriert werden oder zumindest FKK bzw. Nacktheit nicht mehr ganz so verteufeln.
