Summary: Self Discovery on an Around the World Cruise
Review: I really enjoyed the book. The self discovery and coming of age of a young man (Steven) while on a 98 day around the world cruise. Excellent character development, and some very interesting reationships help shape the main character. This book is a memoir novel. So I suspect most of it is true, with some additions to keep the book flowing. I look forward to this authors next book.

Summary: A Cruise Aficionado's Dream
Review: Mysterious Places, Mysterious Dreams is like a wonderful cruise that when finished, leaves you dreading your return to a landlocked reality. An historic ocean liner on a world voyage, its wealthy passengers and its eccentric crew combine to make this tale of one young man's self-discovery a very satisfying and hard-to-put-down read.

Summary: Ocean Liners, exotic locations, & self-discovery in 1 book!
Review: Ocean Liners, Exotic Locations, and one man's voyage of Self-Discovery - it's all here!

I thoroughly enjoyed this exceptional read! It brought many of my own past emotions to the surface. I think this is a wonderful thing and it speaks volumes about Mr. Rivellino's writing abilities.

The book is a true story, based on the author's own experiences working onboard an ocean liner. If you have an interest in World travel and ocean liners, I don't think you will be disappointed. You will read about far off lands around the globe and the luxury liner which takes you there. More important, you will become encompassed in the author's journey of self-discovery as a young man, and the many interesting characters along the way that help shape him.

People, places, self discovery, and ocean liners. For me that spells a formula for success. If you feel the same way then I have no doubt you will become engrossed in Mr. Rivellino's entertaining true story.

Highly recommended.
