Title of the Book: The Perfect Storm
Author: Sebastian Junger
# of Pages: 233
Star Rating: ☆☆☆☆


Review:
The Andrea Gail is a fishing boat filled with people saying goodbye to their loved ones to go to work. The "Perfect Storm" arrives and leaves the Andrea Gail with no communication. This is the story of several boats of people trying to survive everything that nature throws at them.

Junger keeps the tone dark and mysterious, as if anything could happen at any moment. Even when helicopters are saving lives, you are always aware that others are still out in the sea, facing worse conditions.

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in tales of the sea or natural disasters. I felt that this book highlighted the destruction, beauty, and chaos that is a natural disaster.
