Title: Run Away From This Book
Review: It amazes me how an accomplished writer can make a wonderful idea for a book into such a boring tale. Many years ago I spent 3weeks on a tramp freighter travelling between Africa and North America. Because of my own experiences I really looked forward to reading this yarn and was extremely disappointed. There are meager descriptions of his own experiences and one gets the feeling that he (Mr. Fetherling) should have stayed home and spared us what I felt to be a chore in finishing this book. His ship docks at many exotic and alluring ports in the Pacific but amazingly he really has no adventurous experiences himself. He relies on others for his chronicles. Spare yourself the boredom and look for your sea tales elsewhere.
