Book Reviews of Fool's Paradise
Book Review: another instant classic
Summary: 5 Stars
John Gierach has written another book for the fisherman, and like his others, this one is an instant classic.
Reading Gierach is both entertaining and enriching, as this trout bum has paid his dues and spent a lifetime in felt soled shoes. A classic, a fun read, and perfect for any fisherman or sportsman with an affinity for the outdoors.
I bought this book while on my way to fish John Gierach's home stream. I bought the book at Mike Clark's shop in Lyons, and while there, John Barr walked in. John Gierach's books have brought me much joy, and someone I most certainly look up to and aspire to be like some day. I highly recommend this book as your first Gierach book or just another one in your collection.
Book Review: Another masterpiece.
Summary: 5 Stars
When is comes to streamside philosophy, John Gierach is unparalled in contemporary literature. I have read many other authors in the genre, but none compare to Gierach in dry wit and humble wisdom. Like many of the joys in life and fly fishing, he just keeps on getting better. It makes me sad, having read all of his works that I must wait again for the next one. Guess I will just re-read them all. Bravo!Book Review: The Latest in a long line of good reading!
Summary: 5 Stars
Gierach keeps pumping out the kind of material that takes you to the stream with him, but also challenges the reader to feel as deeply about the experience as he does. For any flyfisher who has a "...home river" or enjoys the challenge of new water, making new friends, or watching nature unfurl its majesty before your mind's eye, "Fool's Paradise" is a book you'll thoroughly enjoy.Book Review: Fool's Paradise is a great read
Summary: 5 Stars
Another John Gierach success. His story telling style and humor along with social insight always makes for enjoyable reading. I have almost every one of his books and enjoyed everyone. This book will also be added to the treasured collection. I would love to sit down over a cup of coffee (or on the bank of a stream) one day and meet John in person.Book Review: Comfortable
Summary: 5 Stars
Gierach is like your favorite flyrod-you know what you are getting-Excellent story telling and putting into words the feelings and actions of anglers/flyfishers. The chapter on cane rods is great and the book is like taking a fishing trip while staying home..
