Negative Positive
Title: An overrated, overblown magazine article
Review: This book was easy airplane reading, easily finished in a trip from Dallas to Portland, but left me incredibly unsatisfied. The execution of the book's premise, capturing the last days of a doomed crew, is flawed. The author has limited information on what actually happened and fails to adequately speculate. Moreover, he only captures the personality of one of the crew members. When the author realizes he has to fill up 200 pages to justify the $25 price, he starts on several new "magazine articles", having little to do with the story.This book had a great premise and some interesting insights into the fishing industry, but unfortunately is easily forgotten.
Is the review positive or negative?
