The characters in this book kind of drove me nuts, but I‘m glad I finished it. It‘s part King Lear and part sea monsters, and is set on an island that sometimes belongs to Canada and sometimes to the US. It has a very unique sense of place.

Readergrrl My family is from Deer Island, New Brunswick. This novel sounds like it could have been set there! Lobster Wars?!?! You better believe!!! ❤️🦞❤️🦞❤️🦞❤️ 3y

(Audio) This was just ok for me. The plot was pretty blah, in my opinion. People fighting over lobsters? Zzzzzzzzzz The characters were interesting enough; the story just never grabbed me like it should have. #LitsyAtoZ

This book is set on a fictional island off the coast of Maine near the Canadian border. I haven't been to Maine yet but this is the book that started my obsession with the state. #augustlibrary17

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I'm still climbing too, behind schedule of course (darn you Litsy, LOL), but fingers crossed I'll get to the top by the end of the year. Slowly, but surely, one step (book) at a time. 7y

This book felt like home to me. Living on the coast of Maine no matter how far north is always wonderful! Following the ups and downs of a lobstering family, it's an enjoyable read!
