Drownproof tells the tale of a former Navy SEAL and the eight lessons he learned throughout his life. Using his own exciting life experiences as an example of how each lesson works keeps the book compelling. The author’s life story is more impressive than most.
While there are life lessons presented in this book, it reads better to me as a memoir of one man’s exhilarating life. And the truths that life revealed. The lessons themselves seem pretty obvious. But I’m probably much older than the average reader of this book and have learned some stuff over the years.
Drownproof would be a great gift for the teenager in your life that could save them from learning some of these lessons the hard way. 4 stars for those types of readers.
Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for providing me with an advanced review copy.
