I was fortunate to be part of a guided tour of the Sail, Power, and Steam Museum in Rockland, ME that was guided by Captain Jim. Now about 6 months later I finished his book in one day.
Needless to say it is a great read if you love stories about boating.
I probably read this book back in middle school as I used to read a ton of Star Wars and Star Trek books back then. Anyways, now I have read it again.
I believe I read a while back that the new Star Wars movies have removed all of the Expanded Universe books from canon. So it was a little weird to be reading this book and be thinking all along that it isn't really "true." Of course it is fiction, but now it is like discarded fiction. Still a quick enjoyable read though.
A simple but extremely satisfying fantasy quick read.
This was a nice read about memories and memorization techniques. The story of the author is woven in pretty well and my interest was held throughout. He described the techniques used in a good amount of detail--enough to understand but not so specific as to get boring.
Overall I now know a little more about the topic and it was also an interesting story.
