The Lost Boys of Montauk by Amanda M. Fairbanks

5.0

There’s definitely a chance I’m rating this higher than deserved because I’m drawn to the material. I have no doubt there will be a million comparisons to The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger and, rightly so. It’s very similar in style, but also, how else could you really tell such a story? While I wouldn’t say it’s as good as TPS, it still has great character development, interesting information from great sources, and, well, heart.

If you enjoy stories of peril at sea, I think you’ll be glad you got this one. If not, this won’t be the one to convert you. Still, I found I hate to rate it highly because it was certainly written with love.
