Book Reviews of In the Company of Fishers
Book Review: A great, short read
Summary: 5 Stars
This book puts you in the middle of the loves, lives, deaths, and daily challenges of the hardy people who have chosen the rugged life of commercial fishers. Ken Boire does a very good job capturing the intertwined cultures of the commercial fishers, the Native Americans, and independent settlers of Southeast Alaska. Through the use of distinct, descriptive narrative the author provides a clear picture of the time and place, and allows the reader to become immersed in the story and personalities without wading through pages and pages of excessive descriptions.
