Review of Bluewater Walkabout
[Following is a volunteer review of "Bluewater Walkabout" by Tina Dreffin.]
Bluewater Walkabout is a non-fiction book written by Tina Dreffin. This memoir goes into great depth on the experiences Tina and her family experienced while living on an ocean island and traveling the world. The biggest adventure of them all and the main focus of the book is the family's boat trip from South Africa to the Caribbean. Dreffin delightfully recounts the journey's good, bad, and ugly sides as well as the things she discovered about life. Along the way, we travel across time to learn more about her background and how it led her to this place. She explains how she ultimately found Peter, her true love, after going through a number of difficult emotional experiences. The author also describes how her friend Jane teased her and accused her of being responsible for the loss of her unborn daughter, which made her despondent. All around Africa, people are concerned about attacks by wild animals, a rise in crime, and disease outbreaks. Along with her family, the author traveled to South Africa, Namibia, and other islands. They had a lot of exciting experiences while traveling. The author also discusses other poignant events, such as how she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
I thought this book to be extremely amazing since the author was able to describe every detail in a manner that enabled the reader to feel the feelings she was portraying thanks to the fact that she based her book on her own experiences. Additionally, I like how the author thoroughly described each voyage for the reader; this was particularly beneficial for those readers who had never before seen the animals since it helped them to get a feel of how they seemed. Another reason I enjoy this book is because Tina Dreffin, the author, provided guidance on how to forge good relationships and steer clear of very damaging ones. Tina gave advice on how to deal with bullies based on a time when she was sexually assaulted. The plot is really interesting. The author takes the reader on a tour of amazing locations all around the globe. We are shown several civilizations from throughout the globe. This heightens the interest of the narrative.
The book's ending is the one section I didn't like as much. Despite the fact that this is a true tale, I wish the author had been given the chance by destiny to fulfill her childhood dream. Her desire to sail from Africa to the South Pacific was dashed when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and the story concluded on a fairly depressing note. Other than that, Bluewater Walkabout is deserving of a score of 5 out of 5 stars. Because the book was professionally edited and the story was instructional, it's tough for me to take away a grade. A multitude of inspirational lessons are also included in the book, which may help readers overcome any obstacles.
This book is recommended for anyone who appreciates adventure tales in nonfiction. My attention was piqued by the author's description of her travels in Africa. Additionally, this book will appeal to readers who like learning about many cultures and locations. I found the material in the book to be helpful.
