Title: Perfect Marketing Plan but poor storytelling
Review: I find true stories of human hardship and endurance such as 'Into Thin Air" compelling. But watch out when someone tries writes about a story to which there were no surviving eyewitnesses, such as the Andrea Gail sinking, "into the Wild" etc. This book goes off on tangents to fill space, such as how do we forecast storms, or how do longline fisherman live. But the actual story of the Andrea Gail crew is a thin thread, shrouded by conjecture. And the most dissapointing and telltale feature is the lack of authentic photographs in the book, substituted by cheesy set of glossy prints from the movie, with that ER guy. No, my imgination did not go anywhere with this.....but its making lots of $$ in the theatre.
Is the review positive or negative?
