I've got to admit that I break out into a cold sweat any time that I hear or read the word "paddling." It reminds me too much of the times in high school when I just barely avoided it--getting a paddling that is. I went to high school in a time and place when it was still legal. And it seemed like everyone was allowed to do it--the principals, the teachers, the janitors (I'm kidding about the last one--I think) were allowed to do it, and there was no "must have another staff member as a witness," etc. stuff back then. I'm sure glad that I'm not in high school, then and there, at least, anymore . . . .

This book will have limited appeal (but, who knows, maybe someone will decide to take up the sport because of this book). And, I know that this book probably is free as a teaser (if you like Book 1, you'll want Book 2; the author sells Book 2). But, for some reason I feel that one or more Mobilereaders might like to know about this one.
