Don't bother with the movie. This book is completely different. The author wraps up all the elements, historical, personal, scientific; that lead to the perfect storm, and what affect it has on the Newfoundland Longline fishermen, who live by and for the sea.

Really addictive reading. Love Bryce's storytelling, so full of sound and colour. Good follow on from the Power Of One. However find Tandia too violent for my tastes, have just a few pages to go! dont want it to finish, but at the same time cant wait to get to the ending. Good read.
