Read in September, 2011

When I first saw the perfect storm book and decided to read it I was excited, I had seen the movie ‘the perfect storm’ before and I really liked the movie it was a thriller and a great story. The book was about 6 fishermen who swordfish and went out for a month trip on the boat called the Andrea Gail. It tells the tail of their hardships on the boat and how they tragically died.

Sebastian did a great job with telling their stories, describing their struggles on the boat, especially describing how hard it was for them to be away from their families so much and how much pain It was for them to go through. What made me like this book is how it was written and how he also told about other boats in the storm having to fight for their lives also

Sebastian wrote this book to show the life of a fisherman. It helped me to appreciate fishermen and what they have to sacrifice in their lives just to make some money. In my opinion almost anybody who likes non fiction books will absolutely love this story and I highly recommend this to them
