Amazing Book September 1, 2008
This is an amazing book. The stories are as harrowing as they are interesting. When you read this book you will have a renewed respect for these captains and their crews who brave the Bering Sea for our enjoyment of Alaskan King Crab. I don't want to spoil the book for those who haven't heard some of the stories before, but, reading the stories about shipping going down is especially heartbreaking. I highly recommend this book for every fan of the show or those who are either just a casual watcher or people who enjoy true life stories.
Recommended for any fan of the Deadliest Catch August 27, 2008
This book is strongly recommended for any fan of the Deadliest Catch show. The book offers short interviews with many of the key cast members offering a glimpse behind the scenes.
Great Book! August 1, 2008
It took me about a three days to finish reading this book. Once I started, it was hard to stop. There is so much information and you learn a lot, not just about the captains and deckhands, but about waves, freak accidents, cpatain-speak, etc. I love it!
love the series, and the book!! July 23, 2008
i bought this book for my husband who's a big fan of the show which he also has all the seasons, he likes it, and tell about everything fisherman have to do and deal with while away, great!
 For Deadliest Catch fans only July 1, 2008

DEADLIEST CATCH: DESPERATE HOURS is a book for fans of the Discovery TV show only. It gives thumbnail biographies of the captains involved in the TV show, and some of their stories of the wilder end of life on the Bering Sea. It has no central thread, nor any particular depth. but any fan of the TV show will find interesting nuggets of information.
I had hoped for an account of filming aboard one or more of the boats; the camera crews face the same hazards as the fishermen they film. And, there is a little of that, just not as much as I had hoped.
I enjoyed the book. I'm not sorry I bought it. But, I had hoped for more.
