This unrestrained spoof of The Perfect Storm and its influence on the quirky island-city of Gloucester, Mass. gives a clearer (and more hilarious) view of Cape Ann's young adults than Hollywood could... This description may be from another edition of this product.
At first, I didn't know what to expect. However, upon opening the book and reading just the first few pages, I knew I was in for a treat. I was immediately sucked into the story and felt like I was in Glousta and hanging with the crew. I was chuckling through the whole book. Everyone should pick this book up, it makes for a great read.

I stumbled across this via search engine accidentally, but was intrigued. Anyone who has the huevos to write a spoof on subject matter like the Perfect Storm (terrible movie, by the way) deserves $20.99 and a few hours of my time. The book, of course, is silly -- but it IS a spoof. And anyone who grew up in a small town can certainly identify with Curcuru's portryal of Gloucter and its natives. I look forward to his next work.Also, in response to the "Jerk" reviewer: I wouldn't go so far as to call you a Marxist, but you are being a bit obtuse. Apparently you didn't read the Disclaimer on pages 21-27. Or perhaps even the book. Maybe just the cover. And you know how that saying goes.
1st ammendment...

To the Marxist that wrote the "Jerk" review...Get over it. It is a book of fiction and is a perfect example of the 1st ammendment and the authors right to put this book out. When you get back to your socialist homeland tell all the marxist pigs I said hi. By the way: It is your right to NOT buy this book. I think making threats to people as you have is sad and shows how uneducated fools would react to a work of literature. Happy new year!
