| | Customer Reviews: Inspirational (10 November 2008)It was thanks to this book that I sailed round Britain. It gave me the idea and it just grew into reality - so I have alot to thank Ellen for. If you are interesting in sailing round Britain use UK and Ireland Circumnavigator's Guide - you will find it very useful. Great Woman, Great Book! (27 March 2006)I had seen some news reports of what she had been doing which is what prompted me to buy this book, and its excellant. She tells her story in such a way that you feel that you are sat with her witnessing everything. Couple of the chapters are long which meant people only got grunts out of me for long periods of time. I think the glossary at the back of the book is a cracking idea as even the simple sailing terms i didnt know, so this i found very useful. Great read! Great Girl...........Brilliant Book (18 October 2005)As a sailor myself, I can understand the emotional rollercoaster Ellen experienced during her time at sea. The book not only gives an insight into what inspired her to sail but also how tough going the days at sea were. I could not put the book down from the minute i started to read it to the end. This book is truely sensationl and inspiring. It is a must read and i guarantee anyone who reads this book will feel the same. This book is truely sensationl and inspiring. It is a must read and i guarantee anyone who reads this book will feel the same. I listened to Ellen reading her story as I painted the outside of the house, balanced on a ladder. It certainly put the little heart stopping moments when my ladder wobbled, into perspective! Although Ellen is not an actress she still puts enough personal feeling into the reading to more than makes up for that. Read it, or listen to it, and it will put British winter weather into perspective! | |
