"Good read, could be classified as an action/adventure story too. I really enjoyed reading stories about how they had to sneak around to gather evidence on polluters, and stand up to big monster tankers from the smaller Keeper. Only thing I didn't like was a few times during Kennedy and Cronin's chapters I felt as though they were self promoting and it came across as a bit self righteous. Not sure how some of it tied into the Riverkeepers. I've met both working also on the Hudson River, and I thoroughly like Kennedy. He is a real nice man. Cronin can be a bit ornary, not really a people person. I hope that opinion hadn't already pre-disposed me to be biased when reading the book..."
"I went to the river and the mta was all, step off my river, little man! and I said this is a human rights issue, son! and the mta was like go ahead and swim in that stuff and see if I care, but there was poo, and the riverkeeper said "damn!""
