- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Diabolical narration - aimed at age 7 reading group, perhaps. The book is presented alongside yachting books that appeal to yachting community, aspiring cruisers, or armchair sailors, maybe. Couldn't tolerate it past chapter one. Written well enough. Nice details. However, the prospect of regressing in age over the 11 hour long narration.... unbearable.
