Title: Not a beach book, but worth it
Review: A meteorologist in my organization recommended this book and this should have tipped me off that this was not a beach book. This story of a real life event, in which the ship Andrea Gail and other ships get caught in the "storm of the century" is a detailed, serious read. You should not try to read this in snatches, a few pages at a time or you will be lost. It is worth it to read several chapters at a time to learn about the hard life of swordfisherman by stepping into the shoes of the 6 men on the Andrea Gail. I recommend that if you are not interested in all the detail provided by the author, that you at least skim to capture the flavor of this way of life and feel what they must have experienced during that last, fatal cruise.
