FISHERMAN'S GUIDE

Rating:
Summary: Uhm.......
Review: This is a fascinating book, but I feel for the wrong reasons. It attempts to weave business management, nature writing, fishing, and quantum mechanics, among other things. For me, this attempt fails. The writing is pleasant in places, but painful in many others:
"The maze of streets and alleyways lead on to limbs and twigs, reaching out to halls in needles with special energy-fixing organelles-the chloroplasts too have DNA. It is here the favored triplets enact their star performance to a caroling chorus of chlorphyll. Triplets beckoned from the moisture of the soil are joined in wedlock with triplets coaxed in from the breeze. The parson comes from ninty million miles away. The nuptial festivities are sanctified with sunlight. The six-member ring of glucose resonates the wedding march...the bride of light, its life is light."
