Official Review: The Reel Sisters by Michelle Cummings

[Fanciboy4]

The fifth line of this review caught more of my attention.

Fly fishing is not a common activities being practiced and most times reader tries to get more knowledge about such activities in other to fully understand the story content. Like myself, I don't know what fly fishing is all about. So I thing it a move made by the author.

I know this may take time to read up, especially for those that don't like reading too much stories entailed in a book. From the review case, i think the book is nice for a read.

Thanks for the kind words. Fanciboy4 - welcome to the forums! The book was not too long of a read, once I got used to the five alternating perspectives.

This is one book I have already falling in love with. What I enjoy most is the team work between the characters.

Thanks for the heartfelt review, Bookowlie!

The leisurely pacing could be a metaphor for fishing, which as you say isn't the fastest sport around. The tug at the heart could be symbolic of "the tug's the drug" for fishing addicts. The story has a nonfiction feel to it. The author admits to being a cross between Sophie and Veronica.

This book makes me recall Free Fish Friday which you also reviewed. Fishing seems to catch hearts if people are willing to bite.

Actually, I didn't review Free Fish Friday - Gali did. However, I enjoyed the book and was active in the discussion when it had been the Book of the Month about two years ago. I remember that discussion being very lively at the time! Like you, The Reel Sisters reminded me a little of Free Fish Friday, even though the plots were wildly different.

Oh, my mistake. I seem to remember some of your comments to FFF. Or was it The Student Council by the same author?

My apologies to Gali.

Both good books and both good reviews, I must say.

A group of women bonding over their love of fly fishing. While The Reel Sisters sounds interesting, the reviewer's comment about several alternating perspectives and a beginning bogged down with information makes me hesitant to actually read it. Thanks for the information.

I believe that the books written from different points of view help the reader to have a wider vision of the history. And I like, but this book is not for me. The topic of the fishing does not attract me at all.
Thank you for this complete review.

No need to apologize. Free Fish Friday was certainly a lively discussion. From what I remember, the author was very active in the discussion, which was fun. I did review The Student Council (by the same author) and enjoyed it very much.

The beginning was still interesting. It's just that the story is slow paced in the beginning due to introducing so many main characters and the sport of fly fishing.

Oh! What more can i say about this book, i'm this type that feel boring in terms of reading novel but only this name" the reel sisters" draws my attention, i must confess this book is very intersting, i got confused when i saw fly fishes but while going on with the reading i understood every thing about that, to be frank michelle Cummings really made a different in this novel, Great review, thanks.

[Abdul_junior]

A very nice and interesting concept of fly fishing. thanks for your review, first time i heard a book written on it.

:oops: what are saying.

Even though the book seems quite detailed it does fit for a nice read on one of those long warm summer vacations. From what I've seen "The Reel Sisters" needs a patient reader. Thanks for the informative review. I will definitely purchase the book for more of this good stuff.
