4.0 out of 5 stars
A Nearly Perfect Book,
By
This review is from: The Wreck of the Andrea Gail: Three Days of a Perfect Storm (When Disaster Strikes!) (Hardcover)
"The Wreck of the Andrea Gail" is factual, tightly constructed, and roars to a tragic conclusion like the earlier Melville classic (although this book is considerably shorter, which I found congenial). The narrative is clearer than the over-rated recent movie. Altogether, a good read. I would like to see more from this author. Her bio says she is an experienced sailor but an unsuccessful fisher. One senses that the details of sailing down-wind and "foundering" are slightly beyond her grasp as she describes the strategies employed by the Andrea Gail on page 28. Still, this is a small flaw in a far broader tapestry. Bravo! Shiver me timbers! Steady as she goes!
