Reading Linda Greenlaw's book, The Lobster Chronicles, makes you feel like you've made a new friend. Her style of writing is fresh, genuine, and personal. It's interesting, I thought, to know that Ms. Greenlaw is one of the real life characters in the movie/book, The Perfect Storm. She was the fishing boat captain who communicated by radio with the crew of the boat that was lost (George Clooney's boat, by way of reference). Apparently the experience made her decide to give up deep sea fishing and try something closer to land... But back to her book. It's a chatty, folksy description of her attempt to become a lobster fisherperson, and describes her various experiences in that regard in living in her parents' home on a small island off the coast of Maine. I so enjoyed her writing style that I have read her other books as well. Lobster Chronicles is a highly readable, charmingly entertaining look at the life of lobsters and the people who trap them for a living.Read full review

Anyone who loves the ocean, fishing and fishing boats will love this book. Linda Greenlaw reminds me muchly of James Herriot (All Creatures Great & Small) with this book. Very whimsical and very personal. She's an excellent wordsmith and weaves a truly emotional story. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves the above. She is a wonderful author!
Any book byLinda Greenlaw is a great read.
