Title: Not Worth the Money (or the time)
Review: There has been a lot of hype about this book and I'm not sure why. I read this book expecting to learn about the tragic event that occurred in the Atlantic and instead the book gives various scenarios that might have happened. These hypotheticals are distracting because it interrupts any semblance of a story. At the very least, the author could have followed one hypothetical through to its logical end. Instead, we're given random facts along with the hypotheticals which purport to explain different aspects of navigation. The author could really have benefitted from reading "Into Thin Air", which is a far superior book and tells a fascinating story. That is what's missing from "A Perfect Storm" - a good story told in an interesting way.
