I have just read a book called ' The Perfect Storm'. The book was written by Sebastian Junger. It was an adventure story that was set on a sailing ship in the middle of the ocean.
The writing in this book was small and really hard to read. The language was hard to understand, they did however explain ,ay of the words that i found difficult to understand at the end of the book. All through the book they talk about wind travelling at 100 knots, the word knots i thought was describing the knot in a piece of string,after reading the meaning to the word at the back of the book i found out they were actually talking about the speed of the wind.
The book was all about a crew of fishermen on board a sailing ship out on a fishing trip. The crew were to expierence many problems while out on this trip, they had a broken ice machine that meant they could not catch any fish as they had nowhere to store them onboard the ship. This was to be the least of there worries as there was a freak storm on the way and it was heading straight for them. Did the crew survive? Please read the book you may just be surprised.
Despite this being a book that i was not really fond of i would still give it a rating of four.
