Book Reviews of Fool's Paradise
Book Review: TROUT BUM still Gierach's best work!
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been reading and enjoying Mr.Gierach's work since my early twenties. As I am now 49 years of age, I guess I harken back to my youth, when the "good fishing" opportunities didn't seem to involve such distant travels and inordinate cash outlays.
While FOOL'S PARADISE is still a good read for all of my fellow fly-fishing "crazies" I still keep wanting to turn back the clock to a simpler time when most of our western states harbored a plethora of trophy class trout. When a young fellow could afford to live a blissful life with little cost as a truly contented TROUT BUM. Maybe it's just my my "middle age meltdown..."
Book Review: The Latest in a long line of good reading!
Summary: 5 Stars
Gierach keeps pumping out the kind of material that takes you to the stream with him, but also challenges the reader to feel as deeply about the experience as he does. For any flyfisher who has a "...home river" or enjoys the challenge of new water, making new friends, or watching nature unfurl its majesty before your mind's eye, "Fool's Paradise" is a book you'll thoroughly enjoy.Book Review: another instant classic
Summary: 5 Stars
John Gierach has written another book for the fisherman, and like his others, this one is an instant classic.
Reading Gierach is both entertaining and enriching, as this trout bum has paid his dues and spent a lifetime in felt soled shoes. A classic, a fun read, and perfect for any fisherman or sportsman with an affinity for the outdoors.
I bought this book while on my way to fish John Gierach's home stream. I bought the book at Mike Clark's shop in Lyons, and while there, John Barr walked in. John Gierach's books have brought me much joy, and someone I most certainly look up to and aspire to be like some day. I highly recommend this book as your first Gierach book or just another one in your collection.
