Deadliest Catch fan, this is a written form of many funny or key sayings the fishermen used on DC of ATC shows, PLUS some bonus new background information on a few less featured fishermen.
I enjoyed this extremely quick read.
Deadliest Catch 2008-10-24
Excellent....keeps you mesmerized and not wanting to put the book down!!!! I bought these books for my husband who is 45 years old and has confessed that he has never read A book in his life.
I will continue to buy books for him. READING IS GREAT!!!!!
Also, books are in excellent shape and arrive in a timely fashion.
Amazing Book 2008-09-01
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 2008-08-27
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! 2008-08-01
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!! 2008-07-23
Tales of heroics, wrecks and rescues are all captured in this unique collection of epic tales that will have fans of the show and readers alike setting sail for adventures on the frigid Bering Sea.
For Deadliest Catch fans only

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.
Great adventure stories by the Captains of Bering Sea.......... 2008-06-25
GREAT book, fast read, couldn't put it down, laughed, cried, held my breath at times, it is like sitting with them "After the Catch". Phil Harris's dental work was much too painful for me! After living on Kodiak Island for almost a dozen years, 3 tours of Coast Guard aviation duty with my husband, now retired, this book was like being there again. We are faithful Deadliest Catch viewers.
Loved it!!!!!!!!!! 2008-05-02
As I have been watching this tv show, since before it was called Deadliest Catch, and have all 3 seasons on DVD, I had to purchase this book. I also bought the Time Bandit Book and read them both in approx. 4 days. This is a very interesting book. It is really very good. It does let the Capts. speak on various subjects. For anyone who not just loves the excitement of the show, this book gives information about the Capts. and their crews.
Good and interesting stories from the crab fishermen. 2008-04-28
This is filled with great stories from the crab fishermen and boat captains of Deadliest Catch. There is a little bit of everything here, told by the guys themselves, and in their own styles: some stories are sad, some are funny, some of them keep you right on the edge of your seat, and all of them are interesting. Whether you are familiar with Deadliest Catch or not, this is a great book about crab fishing told from the viewpoints of the fishermen and captains.
