Why read it?

1 author picked Sailing Alone Around the World as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I like this book because it was the first book I read as a child about sailing around the world. It filled me with a sense of adventure that ignited in me a desire to do the same while also filling me with a sense of dread.

Unfortunately, I focused more on the romance of the story than on the reality.
