There you have it, the whole story in a nice little nutshell. I'm not saying it's a bad book but it did surprise me. The main premise is exactly as I stated above. For some reason I pictured the book differently. I thought it would show a young man becoming heroic. He learned all about life at sea, that much I did expect, but I just pictured him saving the ship in a storm or something. I mean, the title is Captains Courageous, don't you think he should have done something courageous? But all he did was fish a lot.
