The story sounds like an interesting one and the joke and barbs between Tom and Joe makes their character likable. I think I will read the book to learn more about fishing and the northern pike fish. Nice review.

Was this an isolated occurrence that would not happen again, or had something happened to the northern pike fish? What was more important to the community’s welfare? Was it commerce or people’s lives? These interesting questions sets the stage for an insightful read. I can't wait to read it. Congrats on the BOTD.

This sounds an interesting short story. I like the idea of telling the story around a campfire and how there’s a story within a story. It sounds a little creepy for my taste, so I likely won’t read it.

If you ask me, I will want the lake to be closed. Revenue can wait! We don't want any pike fish turning the beautiful lake to a sea of blood. Thanks for the amazing review and recommendation.

This sounds a great story of financial gain over human safety. The idea of blood thirsty, human eating pike fish is a great horror concept. Thanks for a great review.

This is a story about Lake Moraine and the northern pike fish. It tells about what happens when the fish start attacking people coming to the lake. Congratulations BOTD!

That must have been a very good fish story for a female (who I'm guessing does not fish) to read it in one sitting!

I meet only half the “requirements” for reading; an interest in evolution. The other half, fish, would bore me. Anyway, I like your point about environmentalists warnings.

The contest between saving lives and getting revenue. The review shows that there is a twist in the book that gives a suspense of it being a science fiction and or a true life event. However, the humour part of it will help the nerves relax and I sure look forward to reading the book. Good review I must admit

This certainly sounds like an unusual story and one that would warrant a closer look. I’m not sure if I could read a whole book on the subject, but your review made it sound like quite an interesting phenomenon. Many thanks.

I did enjoy the review however I will pass on this book as I’m not sure I can get into a book about fish.

This will be the first time I'm reading such kind of a book. I'm so excited. In the sample I read that Joe and Tom have been friends for seventy plus years. Honestly, I admire such kind of friendship. Anyway, that was just a by the way. Thank you for your review.

I'm not interested in fish and evolution, but readers interested in these topics will surely enjoy this book. Thanks for the insightful review!
