So this book was a really interesting read for me. I know that it’s been made into a movie (which I still haven’t seen), but I also already knew the ending beforehand. Still, something told me to pick it up and read it. I’m glad that I did.
The author, Sebastian Junger, set out writing this book in the hopes of giving readers a chance to imagine what happened to the crew of the Andrea Gail. Although he knew he could never fully tell you what happened (since no once survived the storm), he does a fantastic job of putting together enough information for you to get a fair idea of what happened.

The book is a mixture of straight-up facts on the working of a fishing boat, as well as actual quotes from friends and family of fisherman in the area.
Even though I had never met any of these people, this book nearly brought me to tears, and I am so glad that someone took it upon themselves to make sure that these fishermen are never forgotten.
