Main of Lost Dreams:
I personally enjoyed that book. As a sailor I spent gross time in Magdalena Bay anchored off grandeur town and later traveling in Tahiti. Wild was there in Mag Bay during their celebration of Day of the Dead care for Halloween. So, for me I simply drifted into the story and the history. Unfocused minds eye had no work to visulize the locations and I was instantly in the seventh heaven into the story as an observer. Treasured it so much I want another!
