Wow!
Quite an Adventure This book really made me think. I found myself wondering about what is nature, why are we here, and what is needed to really live and have a good life? This guy is quite a character and quite a pleasure to read. I find myself wondering if his travels are real or imagined. I do believe that the underwater town is a real place and has quite an amazing history. I can't imagine the government damning up a river and flooding the town I had lived in all my life--it would be so strange to have all of the places that hold so many memories for me just cease to exist. What a rich history a scuba diver could discover while exploring such a place. But that is really just a small part of this unique novel. Consumerism takes a bit hit in this novel. One wonders if true happiness is not to be found in material possessions, but lies elsewhere. That is what the author challenges each of us to discover. Could I do as the narrator does and give up all I have in order to find true harmony within myself? After reading this book I believe I am closer to discovering the answer to that question. Write on, Dr. Pomeroy.
