holtfan 's review for:

4.0

Joshua Slocum is exactly the sort of person you want to sit down and have a drink with. He is humble, hilarious, and full of great stories. Considering this is a book about navigation, it is remarkably understandable and intriguing. I would highly recommend this one to teenage boys who like adventure and any adult who loves a good, true, seafaring story. Well worth the time.

(Though I enjoyed this as an audio book, I think it might have been easier to physically read it, as I could have used a map or picture of the boat)
