This story is beautiful in its simplicity. In my opinion, there is not a single wasted word in the entire work; it is amazingly well-crafted. It's also an emotionally moving story. I found it both inspiring and depressing at the same time. It's an outstanding book, and definitely worth reading, but not when you're in the mood for happy entertaining "fluff". It is a very fast read; the book is short and to-the-point. However, it is such a powerful story that it stuck with me for a long time after reading it. I found it to be thought-provoking and memorable.

Thank you for voting. If your vote meets our Fo the real fisherman or woman
) If you know a feel fisherman who is out there on the sea ripping up his hands to catch a bigger fish each time he or she goes out this is the book for them. Couldn’t put it down, read 102 pages in a night. It is a very EASY reading book. My son of 9 has to read 20 minutes a night over the summer, I am going to make him read this book….
