This is a great read! I would have never thought I could get caught up in the excitement of "landing the big one!" In this young adult book by Graham Salisbury, that is exactly what happened. Graham's description of events drew me into the drama of the moment, and I could almost feel thesalt air misting on me. Excellent!Lord Of The Deep is a great action and adventure story, but it is more than that as well.Mikey is growing up and on an outing with his father Bill, who charters his fishing boat, Mikey tastes young love ,stirring new emotions and feelings inside of him. Already struggling with new feelings, Bill makes a decision that goes against the rules after the catch of a 'big ' one, Mikey does not approve of Bill's decision and is troubled over it. He learns not all things in life are black and white.Not all decisions are made on what is correct.Perhaps some readers will feel that this story should have had a different ending then the one it did. However, I believe the author wanted to show that what we feel are right decisions are not always made by the ones that we think the highest of.Growing up is not easy and pretending that adults will always practice what they preachis often a fairy-tale, as hard as we might try; decisions may be based on reasons unknown to others. Right or wrong!I liked Lord of The Deep. It was a fast pace, quick read. Kept my attention from beginning to end,and that is what a good book is all about!I recommend it.Shirley Johnson/Reviewer
As a local boy, born and raised in Hawaii who understands pigeon English, I enjoy all Graham Salisbury books. His books are for twelve years andolder. I 'm 55 years old and loved it and could relate to as a local.
With his novel Lord of the Deep, Graham Salisbury proves his familiarity with and respect for the territory roamed by the young heart. That he respects his readers is evident. He gives them a complex situation and leads them through it carefully, showing a deep understanding of what it is to be nearly grown, what it is to be clear sighted and honest and yet feel powerless to influence the outside world or the actions of others. In Lord of the Deep, a boy must try to make sense of a situation he knows to be morally ambiguous. His step-father, to whom he is very close, is a sportsfisherman. The father and son spend their days together, the son working for the father as a deckhand. When the father makes an unethical deal with two loutish wealthy customers, the boy begins his own separate ethical life with a passionate act that will ring true with its young readers. All of this takes place in the warm Hawaiian world Salisbury has established for his readers, a world in which they can feel safe as they face the challenges of the imperfect larger world in which we live. The summer romance between the boy and the intelligent daughter of one of the men who charter his father's boat is a charming harmony which tempers this serious book.
The author name was Graham Salisbury .This is it, the big time. Mickey is thirteen, a deckhand working on a charter boat in Hawaii. Working for the best skipper anywhere. The reason I chose this book was because it was a young reader book, it seemed interesting to me. Which I do recommended this book. I think little the age of 12-14 would like this book the type of adventurer, most boys and girls would like this book.The best thing about this book was the characters they bought something different to the book. The only thing is that they main character, which was Mickey he didn't have a lot of quotes. He only had like 25 quotes, "I can't hold the rail take it dad "said dad. He also should have had Mickey kiss Ail. As the book went on they both started having felling for each other. "Good bye said Mickey" said Ail. What I didn't like about the book was that they had a dead whale in it; they could have left that out. The worst part about it was I read it at dinner. "What is that smell" said Mickey "It's a dead whale "said Cal.I liked the book over all because the book had a lot of details in it and I was very interested in the book. The reason I choose this book was because I was drown to the book. I would recommend this book to my cousin T and my dad because they like books like this.
Lord of the Deep By: Tyler Lord of the Deep is about a kid named Mikey with his family and friends on a vacation.On a boat called the Crystal-C. They run into a lot of problems like storms, and fighting fish. Mikey gets a hook stuck in his arm and had to bandage it up. So they have the Mahimahi and it is a new world record fish but it is not offical because only one person can handle the fish since Cal striked for Ernie they can't call it in or they would be disqaulified. They went to the peir and saw two flags fluttered with orange and white for ono and yellow and blue for mahi- mahi.This is a great book for anyone who likes the ocean and ships. I really enjoyed this book because I like the ocean.
A 13 year old boy named Mikey went fishing with his stepfather, Bill, two men named Cal and Ernie, and Cal's daughter, Alison. Later in the story, they caught a big fish. They all thought that this big fish was a record. Once they checked what the record was, they noticed that they're fish weighed in more then the record! Then Bill found out that they couldn't report it in because they broke one of the rules of having an official world record. Suddenly Ernie and Cal had an idea. They wouldn't tell the press that they broke one of the rules. They would lie about it. My favorite part is when Bill decides to either go along with Cal and Ernie's plan or not turn it in at all. I liked this book because it was exciting and there were many intresting parts. I recommend this book for people that like fishing.
