The Perfect Storm, by Sebastian Junger
By Peter on Mar 23, 2008 in Fiction Books
In October 1991 the “perfect storm” — of the kind that occurs only once a 
century — was created by a rare combination of factors. It could not possibly have been worse. Winds of 120 miles an hour, waves ten stories high.
The Perfect Storm, which has been #1 on the New York Times bestseller lists, tells the story of the six-man crew of the Andrea Gail, a commercial fishing boat that tragically headed into the center of this hellish storm. It also reports on the sentiments and reactions of family, lovers, and friends in the small community where the crew members are from.
The Perfect Storm is an amazing read, masterfully written, and a truly gripping tale. One of the best sea stories ever! I really loved it!
