This review really interested me because they didn't think they would like this book but they surprisingly did! I guess you really can't judge a book by it's cover.

Your review makes is book sound like an exciting adventure. I'm running scenarios through my head trying to figure out how fishing can be exciting. My imagination is running wild! I may have to read this.

I don't know much about fishing at all. I have downloaded the book and the first few chapters. I am sure it will eventually grow on me. Thanks for the review.

The review makes the book seem like a great read, but for me it's just not my type of book.

Jack Walsh has certainly penned a masterpiece in A lifetime of fishing. An adventure on the sea based on his own experiences...

I like this book because at several times during your review it sounded like an adventure story. I like the constant theme of being connected with the sea. I like that the author showed the readers how he became enthralled with the sea and the different jobs that he had. I also thought that the pun of being a jack of all trades was a great touch too.

Good review. Normally I would pass on a memoir but after reading the review I'm definitely interested. As the reviewer says,"This book reads more like an adventure than a memoir" so I'm starting the read of it tonight. Congrats on being BOTD.

Sounds like a great read! I’ve never caught a fish before, but I like the idea of him being a sort of child phenom of fishing on the sea! I will check out for sure.

I tend to stay away from non-fiction memoirs and I'm not that interested in fishing or business, so I don't think this is a book for me. But I'm glad you enjoyed reading it and it's cool that you mentioned it reads like an adventure novel. Great review!

Fine example that quality more important then size) Just little over 200 pages, meager considering what readers face nowadays, but it says everything that was worth saying. Thank you for book and free download!
