  Very disapointing
Review created: 06/10/09

I was looking forward to reading this book. I watch the show and wanted to learn more about the people. I recieved the book and was very upset about how poorly it was written. I could not even finish the book because it could not keep my attention.

  a fascinating read
Review created: 01/08/09

If you are a fan of the Discovery channel show, you won't find too many startling insights to what happens, but this is a fascinating read about how a family creates and lives within a business that carries a risk of mortality with it.

  A GREAT BOOK & GREAT CREW
Review created: 09/10/08

The Hillstrands are a great family of fishermen. Their story was very interesting to read and tells a lot more than you can learn from watching Deadliest Catch--also a great show.

Review created: 07/10/08

I bought the book being a huge fan of the show and that particular boat. It was a great read, couldn't put it down..and the subjects covered produce much food for thought long after the book is finished. The book is fast paced, riveting, and I've re-read a few times so as not to miss certain aspects..ie allow them to sink in more fully.

  Time well spent
Review created: 07/03/08

As a fan of Discovery Channel's "Deadliest Catch" I recieved my copy as a gift. Once I started to read it, I could not put it down. The love the Hillstrand family has for each other is clearly evident - even through the horseplay and hard times. Being a bit of a hellion in my younger days made me appreciate the close knit ties the brothers have, and what it takes to bring us city folks a plate of crablegs for dinner.

This is excellent reading for anyone who has ever been on a boat larger than a canoe - or wishes to fish one day.

  A Biased review of a great book!
Review created: 05/16/08

As told by the Co-Captains, Jonathan and Andy Hillstrand.This book is well written and really gives you an insight to life on a crab boat during crab season. It goes a bit more in depth than Deadliest Catch does, and it won't leave you disappointed.
