Negative Positive
Title: Narcissist?
Review: Tom Neale has published a few books on sailing and I bought this with great expectations of hearing a fellow sailor's journey as no two journeys are alike. After sailing for 5 years I looked forward to kicking back and taking in some of that life through an others words. He is billed as being a good writer on the subject of sailing and world cruising so the hopes were high. I thought there would be either powerful story telling or some kind of insights into what make up a good journey. It is often difficult to explain the nuances of being out on the big blue reading about it is certainly worth the price of a book if the reading is good. In reading, I found he is most impressed with himself his boat and his abilities more than anything else. He spent so much time about him that he forgot to talk about the journey the awakening and the discovery that goes on. After two chapters I gave the book away.
