This book changed my life

Words can't express how amazing this novel is. On the surface it seems like a lighthearted exploration about the trials and tribulations of life at sea - but have you really READ it? Have you? Because I haven't, but this man is the father of a friend of mine and I assume it must be amazing. He is also a prophet, which leads me to believe this book alludes to certain sections of Revelations from the New Testament that may or may not predict the apocalypse. Pick it up today at your local library for a fun read! Review sponsored by READING RAINBOW.

As hilarious as it is informative. A great gift book.

This book is a "must read" for anyone who loves boating, hates boating, has ever been seasick, or has never been seasick. Want to know what Sophocles, Homer, and Dickens said about seasickness? Sample the many preventives and cures that have been proposed? Learn the latest scientific theory of the cause of seasickness? Find out how to say "seasickness" in over 50 languages? Read this before a boat trip to learn what [not] to do aboard; or give it to the boater whose invitation you turned down, to explain why. Limericks, cartoons, quotations, etiquette, practical advice -- it's all in this unique book.
