I think this is a great idea to marry songs with the story. The construction in the end was a bit lacking and it didn't flow into a cohesive story. I really wanted to give it more stars but just didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would given that I am an avid fisherman and was really looking forward to reading this book.

I liked the idea of this book, using lyrics from different songs to tell a story, but I feel it fell short of its goal. Some of the chapters were forced causing the story to lose continuity. I found myself distracted away from the story trying to think of what song the line was from.

I requested this for my husband to read. He is an avid fly fisherman. The book was not what I expected, but if one enjoys music also they will like this little volume. My husband found it interesting, but not all that informative.
