Product ReviewsRiver Monsters : True Stories of the Ones That Didn't Get Away by Jeremy Wade (2011, Hardcover)

Gives great background insight on the series. Great book for fans.

I love the TV series so I decided to buy this book to gain more insight - and I was not disappointed. From just watching the tv show, you don't really see the 'hunting' process that Jeremy Wade does nor how hard it really is to capture a fish.

This would be a good read not just for the fans of the series but also for people who just love fishing. The stories of how look it took Jeremy Wade to initially capture some fish (like taking several years for the first catch) would surely inspire fishing aficionados.

The only slight negative thing (and maybe it's just me) is that sometimes the time sequence of some stories are confusing. Jeremy Wade sometimes talks about when he first started hunting for a fish (before River Monsters) then jumps on to another experience related to that then goes back and forth. It's still a good read, it's just that I like to imagine the progress that Jeremy Wade had in hunting each of the species, and jumping back and forth was not helping. But like I said, it could just be me, a second reading might make it clearer.

Other than that, it's a great book and one I would recommend to people.Read full review...
