Book Reviews of Deadliest Catch: Desperate Hours

Book Review: interviews with captains & crew
Summary: 5 Stars

As a fan of Deadliest Catch, I enjoyed this book thoroughly! It's basically a collection of interviews of the captains and some crew members. Reading some of the recollections and histories of the men involved gives you a deeper understanding of what kind of person it takes to be a successful Bering sea fisherman. I have even more respect for their work and for the men personally after reading this. It's a quick, compelling read. What characters!! If anything I wish the book were longer--these sea stories are fascinating--and the TV show really brings home just how dangerous their jobs really are. I enjoyed Captain Sig Hansen's book also, and recommend that highly. It's well-written and Sig's respect for the ones who came before him, as well as his family's contributions to Alaskan commercial fishing, is evident throughout.

Summary of Deadliest Catch: Desperate Hours

Tales of heroics, wrecks and rescues are all captured in this unique collection of epic tales that will have fans of the show and readers alike setting sail for adventures on the frigid Bering Sea.
