" Reading this book was like reading beautiful, odd, funny, poignant letters from my awesome fisherman boyfriend. I loved every minute of it, and I'm sure I will read it again and again. I never would have imagined even liking this book, but it is now one of my all time favorites. Ishmael is my ultimate fisherman fantasy (I'm sorry George Clooney circa The Perfect Storm, you are still runner up). "
