Title: truly brilliant!
Product review: Corson's technique of switching between the catchers and the studiers works really well. He has taken what could be a very dry, academic subject - or a totally fluffy one - and made it both spell-binding and human.I'm familiar with the lobstering end of his material, and knew he was right on target with it (though I was pleased to hear the father of his primary fisherman-character speaking enthusiastically about the book - no one is harder to please than a family member, I'm sure.) But I knew next to nothing about the life of lobsters or of the efforts scientists are making to study them prior to reading the book. Fascinating stuff, and told with great enthusiasm and even suspense. Every time I had to put the book down, I could hardly wait to come back.
