Helpful Score: 5


Not as lyrical and inspiring as some ocean travel or adventure stories, but it sure gives you the feel of the life of professional fishermen aboard a swordfish long-liner. If you took notes you could fit out your own expedition. Great read about something you wouldn't want to actually DO for two days staight, let alone a month! The book gives a new appreciation for the next swordfish or tuna steak you eat.
