Book Reviews of Living A Dream

Book Review: Ego Just Too Much
Summary: 2 Stars

Being hooked on cruising tales, I zipped through this one in under a week. The story of 2 naval officers taking off on a boat together really puts them heads and tails over the rest of us who are thinking about the cruising life - they were trained for this very thing! As a result, they seemed to breeze through difficult aspects of cruising and the book was more about her struggle to let go of her former life in the spotlight. Suzanne's big ego and constant need for affirmation got old and tiresome. There's better books about 'living the dream' out there.

Summary of Living A Dream

This fast-paced, entertaining account of a couple's decision to cut their ties with the workaday world to fulfill their dream of sailing into the sunset takes readers on a fascinating journey through the ups and downs of a lifestyle many only dream about. Suzanne and Ty Giesemann looked forward to cruising the seven seas on their sloop, Liberty. When Suzanne experienced the tragedy of 9/11 "up close and personal" at the Pentagon, they accelerated their plans and set sail. Part Navy memoir, part cruising chronicle, Living a Dream will appeal to any reader with a love of the water and an adventurous spirit.
