Summary of this Book... | ||
The story of two friends who set out to catch a Greenland Shark (in a tiny rubber dinghy) and end up taking the reader on educational and philosophical journey about friendship, man's relationship to the sea and to some extent, fishing. | ||
This type of Book is good for... | ||
Fans of great storytelling. It is not an adventure book, nor is there a whole lot of shark contained within. I repeat: the shark is not the plot. | ||
I especially liked... | ||
Strøksnes has a rare talent of painting a story with a vibrancy that immerses the reader in descriptions that will stay you long after you've put it down. | ||
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to... | ||
Read more! I wasn't ready for it to be over yet (though it likely ended when it should have). | ||
I recommend this Book because... | ||
It's a story about a friendship, a history lesson, a retelling of legends, a reminiscing and a warning about the ecology of the oceans. It's a story of the moments of quiet between all of those things. It is wonderful and animated, and you feel like you've sat with a good friend and talked for hours. | ||
Further Comments... | ||
I didn't actually count, but the shark takes up about 30 pages, I think. And I don't care. They set out to catch the shark, they end up catching the reader. | ||
