This book will land with some, and miss with others. The plot doesn't really go anywhere, it's more just a brief insight into Harry Morgan's rough life. In my opinion, the absence of meaningful plot tragically but beautifully reflects the world's indifference to the events that take place in the book. Everything is so graphic and tragic yet painted in such an insignificant light, and that's what made this book stick with me personally. Again, not gonna be for everyone, but I found it a worthwhile read.
This book was definitely not what I thought it was going to be, but I appreciate that. It's easy to see why it's one of the most adored surfing books out there. Definitely one of the more unique books I've read.
This may be the funniest book I've ever read while simultaneously impacting my outlook on life in a way that few books ever have. I love how the book is structured, the characters are all so easy to get behind (especially Ove of course). It's the perfect balance of hilarious and meaningful while remaining believable and interesting. Can't recommend this book enough.
