Title: perfect storm
Review: After In Cold Blood, The Perfect Storm is the best non-fiction book I can recall. I don't understand why so many 1 star reviews, but then look at how many reviews! Over 900! To me the book is a great compilation of the northeast USA fishing industry, the fishermen themselves, meteorology in general, and what happens when the fishermen meet bad weather. The drama comes in between the details of the life of fishermen of one of the most dangerous areas on earth. The climax comes when the author details the last moments of dying fishermen on a sinking boat. I don't think I've ever read anything as moving as that description. The book naturally descends from that point (the boat's sinking) to the several weeks following the storm: further rescues, searches, aftermath of the storm. I wish I could write a review equal to this author's book. Totally recommend!
