Review # 1 was written on 2009-03-27 00:00:00 Rory Mullett I included this in my "youth" grouping because I think it would sit better with a younger (early to mid-teen) audience. That said, any adult can also glean enjoyment from its pages. Following a couple summer educational cruises around the Buzzards Bay area, and told in the words of the captain, the book introduces the reader to all kinds of people, places, local histories, native lore, environmental impacts, personal insights and more. Some of the descriptions are really beautiful. Peffer writes well, and shares a lot of good and interesting information, but everything in the book had a sort of fragmented feel. The way he wrote it, linearly following the summer cruises, I think made it difficult to hold together as cohesively as I would have liked. But it is a good book ... just not one I would put in the very top of my recommendations.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-11-24 00:00:00 Tammi Donaldson I don't know why I just could not get into this book. The intro held me, but once I got past the first chapter I got really bored. The writer seems to give way too much unnessary information, going way overboard on some topics ex. The natives who lived in the area at one time, and not enough info on others. Perhaps if wait a while on this one and try to read it later I will feel differently.
