Reading history and reviews
Finished in 2007
This was a quick read, a nice short book that Kyle persuaded me to buy at New Year (as if I ever take much persuading to buy more books...). It seemed to continue the aquatic theme of the previous book, and it was interesting to read Lynn Cox's descriptions of the marine environment around the stretch of Californian coast where the events in the book take place - the images of the oil platforms surrounded by waterfalls and different coloured lights was particularly memorable.
