Customer Reviews

Beautiful!

This book is beautifully written and takes me back to Sanibel. More importantly, I now understand why my father loved fishing so much. I never knew what actually took place on fishing piers or charter boats. I now know why he had to measure and weigh all of his catch, and where the root of his crazy stories came from. The characters are written in such a way that you feel you know them personally. I was saddend when the book ended. I wanted it to continue. I am looking forward to his next novel. What an incredible writer!

The beauty and peace of Sanibel Island are renewed

Having spent time on Sanibel Island and feeling like it is the one place on earth that I can find the real inner strength I need to survive until I revisit the Island, I enjoyed the book immensely. The reader who has already enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets on Sanibel and Captiva will be able to imagine that he is standing on the pier listening to a lonely, wise man quietly teaching a younger man what the real meaning of life is.

Six Mornings on Sanibel

Though this is his first novel, Charles Sobczak writes like a seasoned pro. The characters are tough and smart, the dialogue is fast and savvy and the plot is absolutely engrossing and fresh....from the first sentence to the last I, like the big ol' snook, was hooked. Great job, and lots of fond memories.

A native's view of paradise

I am a native of S.W. Florida. As a child, I spent every Saturday at the Sanibel pier fishing with my friends. Now as a busy attorney I enjoy the pier whenever I can sneak a weekend at Sanibel. I have always met different characters at the pier and have always been entertained by their stories. In the book an unusual friendship between a retired charter boat captain and an overworked, streesed out divorce attorney produce unsettling views into their lives. These views are sometimes brutally honest and eye-opening. While this dialogue is taking place, the author accurately discribes the natural beauty of Sanibel. You can almost smell the salt water and hear the waves as the story progresses. The story of these two friends produces a roller-coaster ride through the different emotions that culminates in an unexpected, controversial ending. It leaves you asking yourself "What would I have done?" I look forward to his next book.

six mornings on sanibel

This book was given to me as a gift, not normally what I would have bought for myself. I would have really missed out on a excellent book. It really gets a person to thinking about life. Great reading.
