Review of Bluewater Walkabout
Posted: 16 Jun 2023, 11:12
[Following is a volunteer review of "Bluewater Walkabout" by Tina Dreffin.]
Bluewater Walkabout by Tina Dreffin is a memoir by the author. In her early years, she experienced the need to survive. She has a job that doesn't even cover her needs, and she also experiences the harsh side of men. They take advantage of her, which causes her to stumble. But when she met her husband, Peter, it gave her hope to continue striving. They both took an adventure and lived in a boat with their two sons, who also enjoyed their journey.
What I liked about the book is that she used this to give voice to all the women out there, especially those who experience sexual assault. I also liked that she emphasizes the struggles of people who are always on the go and never stay in one place. The problems that the author and her family experience are very eye-opening to those who also want to try their style of living. Also, I really admire the relationship between Tina and Peter; even though they faced a lot of difficulties in their lives, they always made sure that they had each other.
What I don't like about the book is how the story is written; it is kind of messy and can go all over the place. It is full of flashbacks, which causes confusion for the readers.
I will rate this book 4 out of 5 stars because it is exceptionally edited and I didn't notice a mistake. I hope that the author will consider arranging her thoughts properly so that readers will understand the sequence of the story. But, other than that, this book is very knowledgeable and motivational.
I will recommend this book to adults, especially to people who like real-life adventures. This book is a compilation of the author's adventures with her family and friends.
