Summary: Ms.O book review Charlie...
Comment: The Perfect Storm was a good book. Sebastian Junger is an amazing author. He took a story that could have been "okay" and made it great. The characters come to life through their authentic personalities and actions. Though there was virtually only one action part, the writing is so good that you do not even think of that until after the book is over. Overall, I thought this book deserves three stars.

Summary: MS.O LA- CHARLIE REDINGER
Comment: The Perfeect Storm was okay. It was boring because there was only one exciting part, and the rest just talked about fishing. The idea is good but Sebastian just screwed it all up by writing too much junk. Silly Sebastian. He seems like a good writer but he needs to get to the point. Overall, the book was ok.
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent non-fiction account plus background info
Comment: If you have seen the movie the Perfect Storm you saw only half of the story. My favorite part of the book is the intense sections devoted to the men who are the PJs- the paratrooper jumpers - the guys who jump out of helicopters to rescue those lost at sea. The book has a good detailed section on how these brave men train and the risks they take that was not very well developed in the movie.The study of the fishing industry as a business and how much money is still being brought in from the sea is amazing. The cod fishing industry much of the wealth of colonial New England was built on was a 4 billion dollar industry at the time! That is massive. This type of info sets the backdrop for the narrative telling of how the Andrea Gale went out into the storm and never returned.
