Title: ho-hum travelogue
Product review: My sister gave me this book as a Christmas present.I don't know what the excitement is all about.I found the narrative boring and rather snarky. Some of her descriptions about the Midwest and the river are very nice. Her description about interactions with the various towns and people struck me as elitist. I got tired of reading about meals - cooked on board or bought at restaurants - and showers.Most of all I was hoping for some kind of resolution to her feelings about her father - his death was, after all, the impetus for this trip. But there was nothing. We got a nice little slice of him as a man - then are left with nothing but her uncertainty regarding what to do with his ashes.Disappointing read. A waste of time for me.
