Summary

Lobster Wars is a tight， fast-paced social satire about what happens when reality TV comes to a small fishing village in Maine。 The locals think they're going to get famous and rich。 But it's never that easy。 Especially when Connor Nichols， a telegenic outsider， a guy from "away，" gets a lobster fishing license and horns in on their good fortune。 The TV show airs to great ratings， only increasing the pressure， prompting a few unsavory characters to do anything they can to get in on the action。 With filming about to begin， everything now hinges on season two。 But it's reality TV-what could go wrong？

Susan O'Bryan ，

I have mixed feelings about this novel。 On the plus side， it is an interesting look at lobster fishing and small-town life。 On the negative side， it goes overboard with sexual jokes， innuendos and disrespect for women。 In many places， it reads like the script from teenage boys' locker rooms。 The character development was fine without all the disrespectful references to women。 While lobster fishing may be dirty work， the people don't have to be dirty。 Let the plot stand on its own as two guys com I have mixed feelings about this novel。 On the plus side， it is an interesting look at lobster fishing and small-town life。 On the negative side， it goes overboard with sexual jokes， innuendos and disrespect for women。 In many places， it reads like the script from teenage boys' locker rooms。 The character development was fine without all the disrespectful references to women。 While lobster fishing may be dirty work， the people don't have to be dirty。 Let the plot stand on its own as two guys compete on a reality show， "Lobster Wars。" The side characters， like Evan， Darlene and Tyler， add plenty of drama and interest along with the main group of Connor， Wayne and Crystal。 In my opinion， the raunchiness sinks the ship。ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for my opinion。 。。。more

I liked this book。 I enjoyed learning about lobster fishing， and the scenarios throughout the book were believable。 Even the characters were relatable， but they lacked development throughout。 I think the author did a good job of balancing the different stories。

High hopes for this one， but didn't happen。 Not a fan。 Thanks to author， publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book。 While I got the book for free， it had no bearing on the rating I gave it。 High hopes for this one， but didn't happen。 Not a fan。 Thanks to author， publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book。 While I got the book for free， it had no bearing on the rating I gave it。 。。。more

I loved the premise of this book but unfortunately the book， itself did not live up to it。 A great story was lost due to the horrible writing
