    Interesting topic, but the writing style was a bit dense for me. I struggled to stay engaged. Not my cup of tea.

  3. Mohammed Fardin Sidqui

    A well-researched and engaging account of cod fishing. The author did a great job of bringing history to life. Definitely worth the read!

    I enjoyed learning about the history of cod fishing, but I wish there were more solutions offered. Still worth reading.

    Fascinating subject matter, but the book can be a bit dry and academic at times. It is an important but not exciting read.

    Found it dragging at times. The history was interesting, but could have been more concise. Not bad, but not amazing.

    I had high expectations, but was disappointed. It felt repetitive and slow moving. Not a terrible book, but not great either.

    A sobering and thought-provoking book. It makes you think about the impact of human actions on the environment. Prepare to be moved.

    This book opened my eyes to the importance of sustainable fishing. A powerful message delivered through a compelling story. Highly recommend it.

  14. John J Tharayil

    Book was good but not exceptional. It gave lots of data and facts, but it lost it’s appeal pretty quickly. Still a solid read though.

  15. Anant Maitrey

    Matthiessen’s writing is beautiful. The book is a bit depressing, though. Showed what greed does to nature. Not an easy read, but an important one.

  16. Satyam Mohapatra

    A fascinating look at cod and its impact. A bit dry in places, but overall informative. Worth a read if you’re interested in marine history.

  17. Nikita Jain

    I was hoping for a more lighthearted read. Found it quite depressing and preachy. Not really what I was expecting, but insightful.
