Three Ways to Capsize a Boat: An Optimist Afloat Audiobook (Unabridged)

" A fun and quick read. Stewart agreed to learn how to sail to have a fun summer job and continued to love to sail regardless of the many misadventures he encounters. I was drawn in by the witty British humor at the start and found the author engaging and intelligent...but the humor dwindled midway. Still a fun book but I wish it stayed as funny. "

" It was a quick read that did have some swearing in it. I'm always a bit envious of people who have lived carefree adventuresome lives. Those who can trot off and work in Greece for a summer, or take 5 months to sail across the Atlantic. So I like reading of their adventures. "

" Supposed to be a funny book, but apart from the odd item didn't laugh that much. That said was written well as all the other Chris Stewart books are "

" Sorta funny. A review on the cover says he's funnier than Bill Bryson. I think he's not funnier, but probably just a little better at screwing up in dramatic fashion. My cover was different: it featured a capsized boat, and the arm of a drowning man holding a sign with the title on it. "

" Not as good to me as the Driving Over Lemons series, but then I know nothing about sailing. Still, it's still Chris Stewart with his wit and his descriptions, and I did still enjoy it. "

" This was an ideal read-aloud for my dad and me. It was funny, light, and well-suited to our shared interest in (but lack of experience with) sailing. It wasn't without its flaws, though, and I'm not sure I'd have enjoyed it nearly as much had I read it on my own. "

" a quick, fun, read! "

" funny book about learning to sail "

" Quick read about sailing adventures. Pretty interesting. "

" light read, fun travel memoir about the author learning to sail and then captain a boat on the Mediterranean, before undergoing a more challenging trip as he joins a crew bound for the North Atlantic, where they encounter cold, icy, wet and grueling sea conditions. "

" Every single book I've read what's come from the hand of Chris Stewart has been entertaining, but this is one of my favourites, I laughed out loud!! I can't fault it, superb! "

" Perfect summer read. His adventures in first time sailing were both interesting and hilarious. A light, fun book that'll fit perfectly in your beach bag. "

" An interesting light-hearted look at sailing. The guy is an idiot in the beginning,but he and the people he is responsible for survive. As he settles into sailing, he talks off for a trip across the North Sea to Newfoundland. Very good! "

" Moments of fun in the sea, Chris captured the essence of all things watery! "

" I liked this because it was full of adventures! Some of them are ordinary adventures, but interesting. It amazes me how easily some people can jump out of their comfort zones so quickly and so completely. "

" A really enjoyable book, sailing around the Greek Islands and an epic journey sailing to Iceland... great adventure read. "

" Lightweight good fun, with the author starring as a sympathetic character in his own global drama. Decent holiday reading "

" A lightweight really. Read because I liked his books about moving to Spain. Obviously didn't take me that long to read! "

" Funny little book. Recommended to people who have discovered sailing late in their lives. "

" A really well written and funny tale of a young man's adventure being a sailor, initially without ever sailing before. Quick and witty, I found it hard to put down. "

" It was a quick read that did have some swearing in it. I'm always a bit envious of people who have lived carefree adventuresome lives. Those who can trot off and work in Greece for a summer, or take 5 months to sail across the Atlantic. So I like reading of their adventures. "
