Book Review: A Magazine Article Would Have Sufficed
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this book, along with John Barr's Barr Flies, in preparation for a steel heading trip to the tributaries of L. Erie. Ironically, the two men are friends and fish together, but the similarity in the two books ends there. My two beefs with the book are sparse information content (this should have been a magazine article) and the awful writing/editing. Virtually every page has grammatical mistakes that either confound the author's meaning and/or distract the reader. The editor, if there was one, is clearly not a fisherman and uses phrases seldom if ever uttered by fishermen - again a distraction. I found that reading the figure and picture legends were the least painful way to quickly pick up what the book offered. I also purchased the companion DVD and Landon comes across as more professional and dare I say intelligent than what I would have surmised from the book. However, the rock concert discography through-out the video was an unnecessary distraction, designed I suppose to hide the thin editorial content. Get a good guide for a day and you'll learn a lot more.
