Title: The Hungry Ocean - Unabridged Audiotape
Product review: Linda Greenlaw does a fine job of reading her terrific, gripping story of swordfishing off Newfoundland with her five unique crewmen. In a mere seven hours one can hear rather than read this book about commercial fishing and all of its exciting twists and turns. Greenlaw expertly weaves background details about herself into chapters that she fits among the main story chapters, calling these contextual pieces, Mug-ups. She successfully conveys the excitement and anticipation of awaiting the outcome of a day's fishing, life on the boat, including its many hardships, the crew's problems and virtues, and her love-hate relationship with her boat's owner.As a former summertime mate on a party fishing boat, all I can say is "What a book!" I can almost feel, again, the continued rocking on dry land I used to feel following a day at sea.I plan to listen to this one again.
