Forget the film and trailers on youtube - nothing like the book.

Good basic read - I enjoyed the romance of the love story (I believe they are still together even after a rocky patch much later in life)

Writes of the boredom and loneliness of singlehanding, sharks, stingray attack, cats on board (why?).

5 year trip.

Good info about the pacific islands and people (of that time).

Well I bought the kindle version for £3 ish, but it has now risen to £5.99 - cheeky but still worth it.
