Interesting story. But it is bloated and overwritten. The author constantly meanders off on tangents that have no bearing on the overall story. Do we really need 8 pages on the history of tilefish? The story is also very disjointed. It is all over the place. The author is not a great writer. This book reads like a very, very, very long newspaper article instead of a book. In short, this book should have been cut down to about 200-250 pages at the most. Thankfully, I didn't pay for this one. I got it from the library.… (més)
