Review of Bluewater Walkabout
[Following is a volunteer review of "Bluewater Walkabout" by Tina Dreffin.]
Tina Dreffin's book, Bluewater Walkabout: Into Africa, features elements of enthusiasm and multiple adventure stunts in the lives of a young family: Tina, her husband, and their two sons.
Tina was stuck trying to get a better job, car, and place to live until she met Peter, and he suggested living free, which has a promising glance to a beautiful future that could provide her with the needed insight. Tina has lost faith in herself as she sinks deeper into her misery, but she soon realizes that confronting her fears will bring her the much-needed liberation she sought. Tina's therapeutic journey was not without challenges; to find peace, she would eventually have to discover the wonder of being alive and well. Will these adventures help her in this quest?
I like how the author emphasized the love shared by the novel's two main characters. Tina and her husband, Peter, seemed destined for each other. Before Peter came into the picture, Tina had been dreadful at lovemaking due to her traumatic past. Peter's love for her was defining, as it opened her to a new and beautiful reality of true love. I appreciate the awareness that brought to light the plight of rape and assault victims. I also love the family pictures and maps included, as they made it more exciting and beautiful.
This book contains excellent self-discovery hints, and I liked how the author included quotes from famous brilliant people, and one by Albert Einstein in particular stuck with me: "There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." I loved the couple's adventurous journey. They had many beautiful experiences in one of the largest game parks in the world, where they saw wildlife at its best, surfed in shark-infested waters, and experienced people's unique cultures, like the samba dance. I love how their love for their family helped them overcome challenges; they braved a boisterous wave and overcame a debilitating illness and loss.
The story is generally beautiful, though the writing style could have been more straightforward. I don't particularly appreciate how the novel's plot scenes vary dramatically from one period to the next and have no clear timeline. As a result, the reader may need guidance while attempting to keep up with the story. The book was professionally edited and had some errors, but I still enjoyed it. Therefore, I rate Bluewater Walkabout: Into Africa 4 out of 5 stars. I removed a star due to the book's rough plot transitions.
I recommend this book to adventure lovers, NGOs, rape assault survivors, sea travelers, counselors, medical practitioners, and psychiatrists. They will learn one or two lessons from the book.
