Lauren T. (littlegirl) - reviewed on 1/5/2011 + 37 more book reviews

This short read (just about 300 pages) is a great chronology impact and influence the cod fishing industry has had on society. It provides enough detail and background of world events (economic, political, military, etc) to understand how they impacted the fishing industry without getting mired in too many details. The book also provides awesome insight into the people whose lives have been forever altered by this one industry, that at first glance sounds small, but in reality is much bigger and far-reaching that you would have thought. Looking forward to reading Mark's other books - Salt and the Big Oyster.
