Title: So Disappointing
Review: I had hoped for something like an "Into Thin Air" where I'd get caught up in an endeavor I know little about, but respect and be blown away.Not a bit. This is a long winded account of a man's journey across the Atlantic. I expected he'd have to bail out or really fight to survive. Not so much. He provides every account of his musings on his failed marriage and on other more interesting journeys across the Atlantic. His insights on his marriage, the journey and life seem commonplace, rather than enlightening.His writing isn't that great and in places made me groan. Take this: "Instinctively, without thinking I . . ." Instinctively means without thinking.I expected more adventure and insight. I skipped paragraphs of banal descriptions just to get to the end. I rarely do that as a reader.
