Title: Tragic, but fascinating - I couldn't put it down.
Review: The book is gripping in its tale of struggles on the sea and the hardships endured by families whose lives depend on the commercial fishing industry. I was enthralled by the author's description of the history of commercial fishing in New England and his explanations of the meteorological events which lead to the tragic loss of many lives during "The Perfect Storm". Having once been "lost" in Gloucester while on a driving tour of Eastern Massachussets, I really appreciated the author's description of the local culture!
