I would recommend this book to anyone who has ever felt uneasy in wildlife situations, anyone who was ever forced to go somewhere they didn't want to with their parents, or for those who have experienced a cabin or cottage situation.
Some of the encounters are veThis was a wonderful book about a family , specifically the father, who wanted to find a place they could go to get away from the crowds and busyness of Vancouver. I mean, Grant Lawrence fishes and swims and enjoys a semi-modern life in Desolation Sound.

The countless hilarious stories set a good natured tone throughout the book, but, there was so much more beyond the laughs. It's a wonderful light read, ideal for summer afternoons at the beach when you're too sun-drunk to really focus, or winter evenings curled up in a cozy chair with an old crocheted throw blanket. Dr. Jeffrey Gurian shares how you can change your thoughts, eliminating the negative ones that lead to self-sabotage and block you from happiness.
Great read ... laughed out loud ... a must read for any beautiful BC boys (and girls) who have a spirit of adventure :) ...
There is also a lot of history about the area (Desolation sound on the BC coast) expertly thrown in, used to enhance many of the stories Grant tells.
The author started going there as a child and still spends as much time as possible there. Nice book, we read it while underway towards Desolation ...

Well, outside of the neighbors.
So I read half of it like that, in odd intervals here and there, and then the second half in one fell swoop on a cross countLawrence's book about his family's cottage up in Desolation sound is pretty entertaining. Although more anecdotal than plotted, this memoir is about how an isolated cabin in Desolation Sound began as a dream for his outdoorsman father and a nightmare for a nerdish young Grant, but evolved to become one of the most important places in his life. It's a wonderful light read, ideal for summer afternoons at the beach when you're too sun-drunk to really focus, or winter evenings curled up in a cozy chair with an old crochI'm giving this book 5 stars because I enjoyed it whole-heartedly from beginning to end.
When people are writing about their own lives, though, they should be careful about the use of the words "for many years" or "for years and years" unless they are looking back from 90 years of living because most things don't go on for years and years; it only seems like it.So so so good.
I found the descriptions of the local people and sites somewhat exaggerated.
The best part was the description of driving up the Peninsula to Earl's Cove.
I have recommended this book to everyone I know who has had the same experiences.I loved this book.

For those looking for a historical and personal profile of a unique piece of Canadian wilderness, this would be a good pick.Maybe I'm too emotional on Father's Day but what Grant Lawrence writes about in this book is what I think everyone would line in their life whether they know it or not.
