Heave Ho : My Little Green Book Of Seasickness

Rating:
Summary: Rambling but with good cartoons
Review: The book has its moments but it tends to ramble. There are sometimes to many quotes. They disrupt the flow of the text. The cartoons have to be the best part of the book. My husband got a few chuckles out of it too.

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