Far Tortuga is a great book. The author has really done a great job. 
What do you most like about it?
the book was concerns are evident throughout his house. making a book on house activities is awesome.
What I like most is the style: In order to identify the speakers on the boat, you have to recognize their speech patterns. For the most part, they're not identified otherwise. And it feels as if you're hearing voices over water.
well, not sure of this but i guess it from a paragraph in the book. 
They're a group of fishermen who go out in the Caribbean to fish for turtle too late in the season
sure, i think that what the book contains. but  Far Tortuga is just one of a kind. 
It's told largely in voices. Their speech is a mix of English and island dialects. Very melodious and poetic. Their voyage is doomed. It's quite an adventure and I recommend it to you
Peter thus have some notable book like Shadow county but Far Tortuga is far ahead of it.
Shadow County is the condensation/combination of a trilogy of novels he wrote back in the '90s. It won the Pulitzer, I believe. The other one I recommend is At Play in the Field of the Lord. Nice talking with you!
