It will appeal to anyone that is a fan of fishing, or sailing or the San Francisco Bay area for that matter.In the early 1900's, young Jack pursues poachers in several short storys that are often funny and sometimes hair-raising! The characters are colorful and full of mischief. Without motors on their boats and the power of the sail only, it's easy to get caught up in the early day version of the car chase as Jack chases one criminal after another. Great adventure!
6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Blown away by this book! By Colleen McMahon "Tales of the Fish Patrol" is a series of short stories or reminiscences by Jack London. The narrator is a teenage boy who is working on the "fish patrol", a small group of semi-deputized boatmen who patrol San Francisco bay and attempt to enforce the fishing regulations. It reads as very autobiographical and London did do similar work at that age, but how much of these are fictionalized I don't know.It doesn't matter, though, to the casual reader, because these stories grab you and pull you in. No matter that I'm unfamiliar with sailing boats of a century-plus ago, nor the geography of San Francisco Bay, nor the means and regulations of fishing at that time. London describes everything so vividly that I was never lost. These stories are really gripping and suspenseful and while each can be read individually, the series is an overall narrative that circles around perfectly from start to finish.The one drawback is that like other authors of his time, London repeats and reinforces ugly ethnic stereotypes and language that is offensive to modern ears. It is jarring but can be overlooked in the pacing of the stories by many readers; however for this reason I wouldn't recommend these stories for younger readers.I would love to see an edited edition that preserves these exciting stories without the ethnic slurs; they would also make a fun TV or movie adaptation.Really worth checking out, especially for the price! I had already been familiar with "Call of the Wild" and "White Fang" but will now be seeking out more of London's work.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A San Francisco classic By sekander The appeal of these stories is universal but Bay Area residents with a sense of place and an appreciation of historywill absolutely enjoy the tales spun by the master in their own back yard. Travel back to a rough hewn time before the modern age and meet some amazing characters-the type that built the City we know and love. Sometimes dismissed as young adult fiction, and not worthy of London's elite canon, these tales, nonetheless, are a vivid portrait of a young, emerging San Francisco.
