this is my latest read, which was a thoughtful gift from the hubby for valentine's day. i figured i'd have to wait awhile to get my hands on this one, since it's relatively new, and therefore, relatively expensive. Casey is a literary journalist who pursued the topic of the rogue-wave filled ocean with absolute dedication - researching and traveling with scientists and tow surfers alike for years. she presents to the reader her evidence with a healthy dose of everyday language, which makes the entire book approachable and fascinating, like a great science unit peppered with personal stories and eye-witness accounts. i really loved all the surfing stories - i'm blown away by such a corageous art. i'd give it a four out of five.
