>> Extremely Great Writing
This was an exceptional book in many ways Obviously Sig Hansen is an incredibly fascinating person The co author did an amazing job of putting his stories together in an interesting and easy to follow way The book really provides great depth in to his personality
Most of us find Sig to be a bit of an enigma We have great admiration for his power work ethic and bravery but struggle with his lack of compassion I think Sig largely communicates the same in this book It is always pleasing to me when somebody can evaluate themself with some objectivity
There is a very interesting technical description of the crabbing process and the science of crab as a species It is just enough information to give the reader a much better grasp of the process without boring them with the details
>> An outstanding book
If you are a Deadliest Catch fan you will LOVE this book Sig gives us the history of fishing in Norway back to the vikings and how norwegians came to Seattle and eventually Alaska There are several story lines in the book one of the main ones being the story of Sig s father on a boat that was going down Sig tells not only his family s history but that of himself and his brothers his father and uncles He explains in detail how crabbing is done This book is so interesting that you won t be able to put it down It is very well written and I m sure you will enjoy it
>> You ll miss that voice but the performance and story will hold you
It will take a minute for Deadliest Catch fans to adjust to Rick Adamson vs Sig Hansen reading this story but not much more Adamson who capably handles both nonfiction and fiction narration strikes a perfect balance between the conversational and the sensational driving the narrative forward without overplaying his hand before the main story in particular comes to a head
