A mediocre piece of science fiction
It’s starting to feel more and more like District 9 was a fluke on Neil Blomkamp’s part.

[Eric Larson] does it again with [Dead Wake] by making non fiction read like fiction all the while providing a great amount of information. The research that he does before writing a book shows his deep passion fro the topics. In [Dead Wake] he informs the reader not only what is was like being on the Lusitania, but also the political intrigue that seemed to surround the voyage and it's demise.

A non fiction book that read more like a fiction novel. I learned so much about sushi and fish. I now have a much better understanding when I go to my local sushi restaurant. I enjoyed the characters and following their journey through sushi school. If you have any interest in sushi, pick this up. You learn the facts while getting to know the characters. best of both worlds.
