Title: Bravo! He got it right.
Review: Having lived in Massachusetts for most of my life, and specifically in Gloucester for thirteen years, I was enthralled by the authentic ATMOSPHERE of the place captured in this book. I was there during the year of this particular storm and I know these people, contrastingly shy and rowdy.I read the comments by reviewers and some say it's boring. Hardly. However, they may be referring to the inscrutable quality of the picture Junger paints both of the players and the place. Cape Ann, Massachusetts has a mysterious "veil" over it at times, not unlike the shades of sleet grey, bracken and bottle green that envelope it during its terrible, killing seasons: the fall hurricane months, the nor'east winters, the early, false springs. Actually, for those of us who can afford to stay in our snug homes and watch the spectacles, it can be gorgeous, but for men who must risk their lives to earn their livings, it's treacherous. A masterpiece by Junger.
