Overall, it was enjoyable, but I really struggled with the long-winded nature of the narrative. The way the author went off on tangents and reflected on other moments in his life could have had better transitions or been more organized (though the lack of organization seemed intentional, it made it harder to follow along). By the end, it focused more on the river and less on reflections. When the reflections did come up, they seemed easier to follow. Either the transitions got a little smoother, or I got a little more use to the writing. It is definitely a bit dated, but it was still interesting overall.
