Review: "Fishing With Hyenas by Theresa Mathews is a fascinating tale of her real-life adventures on the open sea with a group of fishermen. You can almost smell the fish as you crash through the adventure in the ups and downs of life on the sea. Mathews does a wonderful job of relaying a bevy of interesting facts about the world of commercial fishing as well as about the tight-knit group of fishermen that are affectionately called the Hyenas. Mathews describes how difficult life on the sea can be, especially for someone like her, who describes herself as a ‘girly girl’. During her time on the trip, she finds that she is tougher than she ever imagined. She learns how to work through pain and soreness, and to endure the difficult work and long days. The trip ends, but the story delves deeper into issues of personal tragedy and financial stresses that envelop her life. Fishing With Hyenas is one of those books that teaches you about a subject not commonly understood and, for that, I really enjoyed the content. I loved all the interesting facts about fishing. Mathews does a wonderful job of keeping your interest throughout the story and I had no trouble at all with the flow. Mathews’ raw emotions at the beginning allow you to connect with her right away and feel her emotional struggle, as she has to cope with a sudden life change. She creates a fast reading story that pulls you through the pages like a riptide, and your emotions will ebb and flow along with hers." Reviewed by Beth Green for Readers’ Favorite
