    Interesting and informative
  

*by F***O on Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2019*

This is an enjoyable companion book to the “River Monsters” TV series that will be of interest to a wide range of people, not limited to anglers or fishermen. Biologist Jeremy Wade recounts various moments from the series, as well as giving a lot more general background- the research involved, the adventures and anecdotes.It is very coherently written, in rather straightforward style, which makes it fairly easy to get through. At times it is a little too much like a textbook however and lacks just a tiny part of the mystery and atmosphere that characterizes the on-screen presentation. Whilst in some places it merely retells some of the action filmed in that series, Mr Wade however also relates a lot of his personal life history and philosophy that led him to pursue the worlds most exciting and little-known freshwater fish. Thus it is complimented by several pages of photographs from his trips around the world. Jeremy is foremost a naturalist and adventurer, who has shunned the creature comforts of a predictable family life in order to chase his passion and explore the wilderness. This is what makes the whole book appealing- the contagious curiosity and enthusiasm that Mr Wade has for his subject.The TV series itself spawned several poor imitation fishing shows on other TV networks, but ultimately it is "River Monsters" and other productions involving Jeremy Wade that retain the right balance of mystery and adventure as well as scientific and conservation interest.

    Great show but even BETTER book
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2020*

I am not a fisherman....but this show is fascinating to watch. It isn't a typical fishing show. It is culture, history, ecology and adventure.  This book goes with the show but tells so much more than they show on tv. The life this man has experienced is amazing. This isn't a movie star book. It is a book written by a dedicated, educated, moral man who has lived and experienced like few ever get to.  To read it is to travel the globe.  This book will be loved by young, old, man, woman, fisherman and folks like me that don't really care to ever go fishing.

    Interesting stories and sad observations
  

*by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2012*

I am not an angler and have no interest in becoming one, but I have found the River Monsters TV series and its host Jeremy Wade to be interesting, which is why I decided to read this book.The book tells the stories surrounding several of the expeditions on the TV series, but with much more detail.  We learn a lot more about Jeremy Wade's life and personality and get more of a sense of the time and effort taken to catch some of these fish - often counted in years or decades rather than the few days it seems on the episode.  From these expanded stories I learned there is often a lot more danger and work involved in the quests than is represented in the TV series, and I also learned a few things about how to fish, should I ever become interested.Wade is a conscientious, low-key, yet intense personality.  As in the series, he's not an in-your-face extrovert.  In the book, you learn more about his credentials and how he came to be a professional angler and world traveler, and clues to the origins of his somewhat compulsive nature. The stories of his adventures range from freakish to disgusting to awe-inspiring.As for the book, sometimes the time transitions made by the author are poorly made - he goes backward and forward in time rather liberally and it sometimes takes a reader a moment to figure out how things fit together.  Also,  I wish the photos had been interspersed to the appropriate chapters and pages rather than grouped together in one bunch in the middle of the book. When I'm reading about the Araipaima I want to see its picture in that section and not have to flip to the middle of the book and try to track it down.  I had a sense that the publication was perhaps a little rushed to try to catch the popularity wave of many successful books from hosts of similar TV series, and the publication quality suffered just a little.This book was exciting and fascinating reading, but it was also sad.  I've read very few things that so poignantly and powerfully pointed out how man has been changing the environment with strong consequences.  Jeremy Wade's observations repeatedly show how our manipulation of rivers, overfishing, pollution and so on have brought many of these creatures to the brink of extinction, or made them more dangerous to humans, or caused an ecosystem imbalance with horrific effects, and so on.  Wade tries to project a bit of optimism that some of these issues can be corrected, but I was feeling less optimistic than he by book's end.  I felt a great mourning for the wild, and some fear for our future.  I did not expect this book to be like reading Rachel Carson or Thoreau, but there is a similar message that comes across rather clearly.I'd love to find the out of print earlier writing of Jeremy Wade after reading this.  He is a fascinating person and has great and important stories to tell.
