I've been tossing books aside partially read all year so I'm amazed. This book kept my interest the entire time. No skipping over pages, no frustration at getting lost, but I will say there were sections around the science and the geography where my eyes glazed over for a bit.The story moves back and forth between the scientists and their lobsters, and the lives of the lobstermen and women. I really enjoyed how each chapter title related to the stories for each.The book ends in 2000; I'd be curious if there's an update on the science and/or the folks on Little Cranberry Island since.If you enjoyed this you'll probably enjoy [b:The Big Oyster: History on the Half Shell 3342 The Big Oyster History on the Half Shell Mark Kurlansky https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388197340l/3342.SY75.jpg 1167849]. Another subject I thought I'd never completely read but found fascinating and full of info I didn't know.
