Negative Positive
Title: Run away!
Review: The title, artwork and jacket of this book intrigued me enough to make me buy it. The premise of a man being shipwrecked on an actual ship is interesting--but the story falls apart after a description of how the hero got to be in his predicament. I expected a story and got a lot of history-babble that subtracted from the premise. I'm in the habit of finishing every book I start--and I found myself calculating the number of pages I would have to tolerate each day to get through it and on to some John Updike.
