Helpful Score: 2

I was a bit disapointed in this book. It seemed like a jumbled mess of anecdotal thoughts and memories, and it lacked cohesiveness.

I didn't quite "get" the whole issue of Jonathan being stranded in fishing fever, and how this was supposed to be a common thread through out the book. This interwoven plot line could have easily been a single chapter. I think the book would have worked out better if each chapter was related to a certain event that has happened to the guys, and then throw in relevant memories or thoughts about the fishing life.

The only reason I finished reading the book is that I was on vacation and "stranded" on a beach for the day with nothing else to read. But it did make for a long day at the beach.
