Christine Peymani delivers a compelling and touching true story of a surfing icon, Jay Moriarity. The inspirational true story portrays the real life of a surfing champion, who fights all odds to chase his lifetime dream. As a Master storyteller, the author describes a young man's quest to surf one of California's most dangerous waves, his friendship and strong bond with his mentor, and the risks taken for the love and passion of surfing. "CHASING MAVERICKS" is heartwarming in relationships, heart-wrenching as we learn the true definition of a close-call in a near-death situation, and powerfully moving as we learn about pushing your limits. The surfing champion rides the huge waves, faces scary consequences, but his spirit for love of surfing never discourages him to quit. His will-power and determination are incredible. This book is as thrilling and as intriguing as the movie, which leaves the viewer mesmerized as we feel as if we are there, while the ocean's stunning waves come to life. Both the book and the movie are interesting, amazing, and addictive! The touching story also includes life's ups-and-downs, and the importance of relationships and mentors in our lives. As a beach-lover from the Northeast, forty-five years of my life, I would indeed watch the movie again, and enjoyed the book very much. A delightful, inspiring page-turner! Highly Recommended!
I gave this book a 5 star rating , because it was so heart warming and the story and setup are just beautiful. I highly recommend this book for all the young surfers or anyone that wants a funny, sad , and inspirational story this book is great. The author makes u feel as if you are really there in the set. Through some hardships and good parts this book truly has it all. May Jay RIP. «Live Like Jay : ) »
Very well written - I saw the movie and read this book and have to say the book is much better. The story line keeps you interested from start to finish. Not just a "surfing" book, this is a great read
I AM ADDICTED TO THIS BOOK AND MOVIE I OWN THE MOVIE AND THE BOOK IT IS MY FAVOURITE BOOK AND MOVIE TIED WITH THE HUNGER GAMES SERIES. I CAN'T EVEN PUT IT INTO WORDS.ALL I CAN SAY IS LIVE LIKE JAY.MY NEW MOTTO.I MAY ONLY BE 11 but THIS MOVIE REALLY TRULY TOUCHED MY HEART.IT WOULD BE A LIFE LONG DREAM TO MEET FROSTY OR KIM.DEEP BREATHS STEADY RHYTHM DRIVE AND GLIDE
I love this book, but then I love surfing and live in the area where this book took place. It is exactly what it says, it follows the movie pretty much to the T. So if you are looking for a more in depth look at Jay and his life this is not the book for you.
Truly a spectacular book. Very good book just to read on free time. I surf and want to see the movie.
This is a fantastic book! I Loved the book and the movie. if you love the movie you will love this book. Although the movie sort of spoils it.
An awesome book brought tears to my eyes.Well writen and kept me reading from start to end.`i would recomend this book to anyone.
