Title: A Very Interesting Read
Review: This is a good book for anyone who enjoys transportation, logistics, or geography. As the author travels around the world visiting exotic ports on a giant container ship, I could almost feel myself there with him. His writing style is descriptive and captivating, and he interlaces general information about ocean container shipping, stories about crew members, and references to historical shipping literature with narrative about the journey itself.The author does have a left-leaning political view but most of the prose is not political in nature, and the author generally provides both sides of political issues.The only reason I didn't give this book five stars is the author's constant digressions into seafaring literature by Conrad and Melville. They were a little too long and may not be relevant to modern readers who no longer remember their high school reading assignments!
