I was never a “Deadliest Catch” fan but my word - this book felt like watching a live show.   I fell hard into the life of an Alaskan fisherman.  The author spares no detail.   Also never read a book where the “shitter” was almost itself a character.    The ending really surprised me - didn’t see it comment at all!
