5.0 out of 5 stars Happy accident, January 2, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: St. Peter's Fiasco: The Perfect Storm Spoof (Paperback)

I stumbled across this via search engine accidentally, but was intrigued. Anyone who has the huevos to write a spoof on subject matter like the Perfect Storm (terrible movie, by the way) deserves $20.99 and a few hours of my time. The book, of course, is silly -- but it IS a spoof. And anyone who grew up in a small town can certainly identify with Curcuru's portryal of Gloucter and its natives. I look forward to his next work.

Also, in response to the "Jerk" reviewer: I wouldn't go so far as to call you a Marxist, but you are being a bit obtuse. Apparently you didn't read the Disclaimer on pages 21-27. Or perhaps even the book. Maybe just the cover. And you know how that saying goes.

This review is from: St. Peter's Fiasco: The Perfect Storm Spoof (Hardcover)

You can take the fisherman out of Gloucester, but you can't take the Gloucester out of the fisherman!

To understand Jerk's pathetic attempt at intimidation, one would have to be a Gloucester native. I can see Jerk right now down at the Old Timers late night looking to beat the crap out of Kory, or anybody that looks like him, is related to him, dated him or knows (has known) him. Jerk's comments are a form of Gloucester love - the love that can only be dished out by a fisherman. Once Kory is beaten beyond recognition by the current Greasy Pole Champion (who's probably still suffering from a severe case of swollen fiestacles), Kory will be flipping trucks in Saint Peter's Square with all the guys - just like the good old days.

So read the book, it's eerily accurate in it's own kind of way, but to truly understand I would suggest a visit to Gloucester, Massachusetts during the last weekend in June to experience Saint Peter's Fiesta for yourselves.
