Title: Super read. Humbling, informative, tragic, heroic......
Review: This book takes you to the eye of the storm and back. While based somewhat on speculation, I still found the story gripping and realistic. It didn't exploit the lives of those that died, but made them human. It managed to weave in the stories of others in the storm as well (not just about the ship the Andrea Gail), which I felt added to the atmosphere and tension of the storyline. These supporting stories were necessary to provide context, as well as to provide real-life accounts of survivors to add credibility to the finished story. I also liked the information about the difficult lives of fisherman and the description about storms and weather. If you like adventure laced with interesting information, this book could be for you, though you may not want to go boating for awhile. Nice work !
