a good read 
its simple: i really liked this book. yes, it was quirky and sometimes pokey (only in that some of the history was a little tedious), but it was also engrossing and fun. her writing style is comfortable without being patronizing. her characters, storyline and setting are full and vibrant. i am very glad that i found this book and have been recommending it to friends and family alike - and to me, that's the best review of all.

A Special Story 
Ruthie got me. This story delivers as well as her seven stones-- and I am not going to spoil the tale for another reader. Just read it.

From an experienced lobster friend! 
I enjoyed Stern Men very much! It was light, humorous, edgy. I loved how the family story evolved, and Ruth was a convincing teenager full of age-appropriate angst, disdain and insecurity. Having family on coastal Maine, I loved the lobster logic! The facts begining each chapter brought a serious mood that was lightened up by the community characters. This is a perfect vacation novel.

Don't waste your time 
How can anyone give 5 stars to this book? It started well enough, but midway through the book I had lost interest, and worse, I began to really dislike Ruth. Ms Gilbert has the potential to be a good writer, but this is not a good book.
