I am not an outdoorsy person (more outsidey), but for some reason I LOVE love love reading about people who find their passion in nature and being outdoors.  I so enjoyed not only learning so much about fish (especially the lives of salmon), but how the book was written by combining the author's own life alongside the salmon's progression.  The ups and downs, the questioning and the tough times and finding passion and happiness at the end. It showed me that we can still look for our passions and fight for then once we find them.

Note: I listened to the audiobook narrated by the author and it was very well done!
