Customer Reviews

love the series, and the book!!
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
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..........
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.
