5.0 out of 5 stars Don't let this one get away.........., 7 Jan 2008
By D. Mitchell (Tynemouth, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had never read Hemingway or been sea boat fishing, but after finishing this book I was licking the salt from my lips and feeling exhausted from the rigours of big game fishing in the Gulf Stream.
I love fly fishing for trout and bought this book for these stories, which are in the first part of the book. They are evocative and engaging tales that capture the ambience and spirit of fishing that most people fond of this sport will easily relate too.
The second section of the book features some of Hemingway's dispatches he wrote for various newspapers and magazines between 1920 and 1956.These factual reports set the scene superbly for the final section of the book that features the two longest excerpts from Hemingway's stories 'Islands in the Stream' and 'The Old Man and the Sea'. Both of these stories about fishing for marlin in the Gulf Stream lead you into an epic encounter with the psychological and physical demands that ensues.
Hemingway's passion for big game fishing and his masterful storytelling was a revelation that held me fascinated and awestruck along with his empathy for both man and fish. Although I think that this book is primarily meant for people with an interest in any kind of fishing, it has left me with a desire to read more of Hemingway's stories, which is probably the best compliment I can pay.
