4.0

This book is full of adventure, chronicling the fastest journey through the Grand Canyon on a watercraft. I would have rated it higher except for the fact that the first 100 pages were a struggle. The author’s writing style was very cumbersome and he seemed to take two or three sentences to say what could have been said more simply with one. The book provided the exploration history of the Grand Canyon, and while interesting, was a struggle to read through. Once the book was talking about present day activities the pace picked up and the writing style became more casual. Overall I really enjoyed the book. I would have rated it higher if the first part of the book weren’t so slow.
