Title: Dove
Review: I found Dove, a memoir of a 15 year old who travels around the world in a boat, an extremely poor-written, dull book.Of course memoirs are not the best books on earth, but the author's writing style was dry and immature. For example, Graham uses the word "weird" about three times in one chapter. There is almost no emotion in this book; the author for the better part of Dove tells about where he went, what the scenery was, and about the natives of each country. The only central characters in the story are himself and his young love, Patti. The love story between Robin and Patti seemed to me very drawn-out and surprisingly dull. All the while, the author still could not tell his story in a way that might make me care about him and Patti.If you are interested in reading a book about a boy's naive, incorrect views of the world and about some so-and-so girl he meets, read this book. If you're interested in something well written, steer clear of this memoir.
