I don't know what I expected but this book far exceeded it.  Who wouldn't want to live on a riverboat?  I know it sounds like fun but when live hands you lemons and this seems like the best choice--is it really.  Oh boy, parents finally agree but what about the kids?  What about school? What about room?  Go out on your lawn and mark out the inside size of a narrow boat and then camp there and see what it would be like--hope everyone gets along.  Another thing, what condition is the boat in?  So many questions and if you aren't filthy rich it can be a problem. This book is well written and totally enjoyable but I think that I want my comforts so while I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I am impressed with everything they did I know I couldn't do it.  Oh well.  This is really a great book and so often I find great memoirs reading a lot more like novels as you can't imagine people living thus this.
