Tears of Mermaids: The Secret Story of Pearls

I read the whole thing and it was tough. It started out interesting but really lost steam quickly. I found the descriptions of people working on the Paspaley boats interesting, but overall the book was pretty boring.

It's dreck. He took advantage of people and then defamed them. Filled with inaccuracies - see Doug Fiske's review here. And I'm being nice.

I read the whole thing.

I couldn't. But in quickly skimming I did manage to learn about Jeremy's amazing fluency in Chukese.

Caitlin,

Thank you for the compliment. I read the section of ZE and found myself wondering what it had to do with the story of a pearl.

Best,

The only thing I like about that book was my taking on ZE. I am immortalized as her implacable foe.
