This is a story of an adventure held while growing up, if it isn�t autobiographical it certainly sounds it, both in the attitude of the narrator and the telling of events.

The story tells of the adventure of floating down a river in an inner tube. Things don�t go smoothly, but then adventures never do.

The writer is at his best when he is commenting on events, and providing character assassination, sorry - I mean character profiles. The characters are believable, some likeable, some not, as it is and should be in life.

I think the telling of the story should be edited, there are long strings of sentences with ALL of the detail. I made a sandwich, I got out the bread, then I buttered it, then I got out the ....da da da, the readers don�t need all of the detail. Just the salient bits, cutting some of the extraneous stuff will result in the �flatness� of the story being banished, and some peaks and troughs being created. This is more exciting/interesting to read.

Still I look forward to the next instalment, writers who write about these sorts of events, in this way, always have lots of stories to tell..........
