This is a tough book to review. When I started reading it and realised that there was no real sequence to the content, I was a little disheartened. But, given the way my own brain works, jumping from topic to topic to keep things interesting, I soon got into the rhythm of the book and started to enjoy the range of information provided within it.
The author is a seasoned sailor with many journeys behind him. He covers information on several topics from geography, science and history as he talks about a few of his travels.
We not only get insight into the life that he leads when offshore but also into a little about a lot of things.
It was slow work moving through the book. I stuck to reading a few pages at a time.
Although it is not a book for everyone, I highly recommend it to people with varied interests and on the lookout for a different kind of non-fiction because this will definitely have something to interest many readers.
I received an ARC thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, but the review is entirely based on my own reading experience.
