Warum uns Wasser so fasziniert

Warum wir schwimmen ist eine Sammlung von Geschichten und selbst erlebten der Autorin Bonnie. Ich konnte einiges Selbsterlebtes aus meiner Schwimmerzeit darin wieder erkennen. Das Buch ist gut geschrieben und lässt sich gut weg lesen. Aber letztlich ist es für mich wichtiger selber das Element Wasser zu erleben und es mit Freunden zu teilen als darüber zu lesen.
