Fly Fishing Through the Midlife Crisis

Rating:
Summary: I read it despite the title.
Review: The author may have had crises but he also writes of some nice fishing spots. Now if I can just find a couple of those....

Rating:
Summary: an outstandig book
Review: This book is a remakable memoir. Raines lets us enter his mind and what I consider his soul. His descriptions of fishing are interesting, serious and humorous but what's more important are his reflections and his insights about people, life, the world, and relationships between parents and children, marriage, friends and people who are different from us,. My first thought after finishing the book was my God, we are so fortunate in the USA. We have endless waterways, forrests, mountains, and wild life. We must do much more in an intelligent
way to protect them.

Summary: Better spend your time fishing than reading this
Review: This book seems to split people into 2 camps - either you love it or hate it. I was told it was one of those 'must read' books, a seminal tome. In fact I found it grossly self indulgent, over sentimental and boring - I struggled to get through it in the hope that something of interest would appear. It didn't.
