2.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but not as helpful as I thought it would be., July 6, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Best Tips from Women Aboard (Paperback)

After I started reading the book, I immediately found it difficult to follow. It was not well organized, as topics jumped around dramatically becoming a bit annoying. It seemed as if the author just had everyone on their email distribution list send in tips, and then they pasted them all together without little thought and hurriedly put out the book. Also, what cracked me up was the drawing of a teddy bear next to a lamp. (Any live-aboard, or boater for that matter, would know not to have any combustible materials next to a heat source!) A lot of the tips were sophomoric and not very helpful to experienced boat live-aboarders. Not a horrible book, but definitely not as good or as helpful as I had hoped it would be.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not organized, December 14, 2006

This review is from: The Best Tips from Women Aboard (Paperback)

There are alot of good tips in this book, however it is poorly organized. I felt like I was reading a church cookbook, where everyone submitted something and everything was included, even if the same thing had already been said 10 times. It is very frustrating to read.
