The Finest Hours: The True Story of the U.S. Coast Guard's Most Daring Sea Rescue by Michael J. Tougias
2.0
It's like the author sat down and asked himself, "How do I time the pacing of this book in order to make this very interesting story as boring as possible?"
For every paragraph about the disaster and actual rescue, there seems to be five about the lives of the crew members and rescue team or some other tangential subject. A very human disaster deserves a very human face, but the plethora of mini-biographies quickly becomes wearisome and makes it difficult to pay attention.
