Review of Bluewater Walkabout
[Following is a volunteer review of "Bluewater Walkabout" by Tina Dreffin.]
Many of us, while growing up, were never given the chance to explore or go on adventures; our parents were always all about how we should be indoors and not go out because of their fears of one security issue or another. Some parents outright disapprove of their children going out, but this was not the case for the author in this story.
Tina and her husband Peter had always shared a dream of exploring the world together, and that was one of the beauties of having shared adventurous goals with your partner. She, her husband, and two teenage boys, Adam and Warren, would go on what they call a South Pacific Expedition.
Bluewater Walkabout is a book written by Tina Dreffin that encompasses events that took place in her life and that of her family. There are many things those who read this book will like about it. One of the things that was most intriguing to me was the profound love Tina had for adventure. You could relate to everything in this book. Tina always thought she was too wild and that her nature was somewhat different from others around her; then she met her husband, Peter, who admired every bit of her wildness and embraced it. It is always a good feeling when you think you're alone in an aspect of life, but you then meet someone who has the same flair for something as you do.
Another thing that I liked about the reliability of this book was the author's childhood. Her family was always on the move, and that made her attend different middle and high schools. The places they lived over the years were South Carolina, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and North Carolina, and this had such a major influence on Tina falling in love with the life of adventure. In every place they moved, Tina and her two sisters always explored the new year in their family car, which was a battered Volkswagen Beetle. It only makes those who had a childhood of always being locked in the house wish they were allowed to live life freely and explore when they were younger.
What I disliked about this book was how, sometimes during the early stages of the story, the preparations for the trip and all the talk about the dream of exploring the world began to feel too much and made me feel bored at that point. Besides that, I really enjoyed the book, and I rate the book four out of five stars because of that. I did not find any grammatical or spelling errors, which means the book was exceptionally well-edited. I recommend this book to readers who love to read about adventures.
