Summary: Give Up, Flip
Comment: Does Flip think he can sell this junk to real Keys anglers? The good old days are gone, and most of the big names Flip shares are old as well. Whey not a book by Flip comparing the past with the present.
Rating: 5
Summary: The Walker's Cay Chronicals in hardcover
Comment: This is exactly what I would expect from the man who films the Walker's Cay chronicals. It is as close to the water as you can get without being on it. If Flip ever reads the comment from the gentleman from Calif. I hope he continues on to read the rest of the reviews.
Rating: 2
Summary: I re-reviewed the book
Comment: Recently I received an email message from one of the editors of this book, criticizing me for my negative review (see "Getting less for your money"). Some quotes from the editor to me were: "your comments were mean-spirited", and "I hope Flip never reads your review, because if he does, he will never share his secrets with the public again".
Her reaction was so strong, I decided to read the book again to see if I'd missed something. Well, I hadn't. This remains a book that can't figure out if it's a story book or a picture book. The text relies too much on name-dropping to try to hold readers' interest rather than on strong story telling, and the photos seem to be a mish-mosh of strong visual images that try, in my opinion, to detract the reader from the weak writing. If you want a good saltwater fly fishing book to read when you can't get out to the flats yourself, try "West of Key West", instead.
2 stars again.
