The Perfect Storm: A True Story of Men Against the Sea
October 1991. It was "the perfect storm"--a tempest that may happen only once in a century--a nor'easter created by so rare a combination of factors that it could not possibly have been worse. Creating waves ten stories high and winds of 120 miles an hour, the storm whipped the sea to inconceivable levels few people on Earth have ever witnessed. Few, except the six-man crew of the Andrea Gail, a commercial fishing boat tragically headed towards its hellish center.

- Excellent writing....
First, I've seen the movie so this may be a biased review. My biggest problem with the movie is that it took so many liberties with what happened onboard the Andrea Gail, things that no one has any way of knowing. I always felt cheated...

- Better Than the Movie
Surprise Surprise, this book is a lot better than the movie and I actually liked the movie. The research that went into it to make it into a flowing novel-like tale is mind boggling. No wonder Sebastian Junger writes investigative pieces...

Why four and not five stars? The book's title says it all. Reading the Perfect Storm was like going to a movie theater. Knowing the flick is going to be great and having to sit through all the coming attractions, you became antsy. The...

*I recently got this book while on vacation to have for a good summer read. While not completely disappointed, I would have to say I am not at all a fan of this book either. A mistake I made was that I saw the movie before I read the...
