Crossing Earths largest ocean alone might seem a long way removed from everyday life, yet the lessons Roz learned about the inner journey, the ocean, and the world are relevant to all of us.

Critic Reviews:

"[Savage's] British accent adds a personal touch to her account of the joys and challenges of undertaking such a big trip. This first-person account displays her intimate maritime knowledge, as conveyed in the technical details of her trip." (AudioFile)

Members Reviews:

Super inspirational

After being widowed I have been working hard to reinvent myself. Even as a very positive person, sometimes I've felt that I just can't do this on my own. Roz's Book has given me renewed strength and optimism that I can indeed build a wonderful life and achieve anything I want. Her story of overcoming obstacles will stay with me for a very long time. It has also renewed my determination to do everything I can to help the environment.

I only listened to 1/3, so maybe it gets better?

Narration is OK. I've heard some god awful narration so i couldn't put it in the 1 or 2 stars with that category of "unlistenable". Still, the narration was just ok.

Story really belongs in a much shorter book. I'm sure the story is actually very very good - but she draws it out with detailed accounts of things that we just don't care about hearing. There's a constant refrain about how she likes to eat clean & is forced to eat things she doesn't want to eat. It's exhausting to listen to mundane comments about how you don't like a certain type of food. I feel like I'm at my friend's house & her 5 year old is protesting that night's dinner.

Seriously, I have to believe this story gets better - but I can't make it through a minute longer.

Sooo Enjoyable and informative!

What made the experience of listening to Stop Drifting, Start Rowing the most enjoyable?

It was narrated by the author - you just experience it on a deeper level if its read by the person who experiences it first hand!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Stop Drifting, Start Rowing?

Too many!! - Two guys on plastic raft- The helicopter rescue- Over all sense and experience being in the middle of nowhere - loved it.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The general&over all amount of help / money and love produced by strangers to help Roz achieve her goals. It just shows you that if you put yourself out there, in a sincere and honest way, you will never find yourself to be alone.

Riveting!

What does Roz Savage bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

I love that the author read the book, and through her expression I was able to almost feel as if I were sitting next to her.
