Caught by the sea by Gary Paulsen telling about his life on boats. Gary was glad he made it alive. Later he moved to Califorina. Then he took the same journey as he did when he was seven. When he took this journey he had to learn the hard way of how to ride a sail boat. He was always scared of the one part in the ocean that hed sharks in it. Afterwards he was lost on the boat for a week trying to find land. Then some one found him. It was a woman named Ariel. She herd his crys for help on the radio. She taught him many things about the boat. I can't tell the ending. The genre of this book is an autobiography. When I was reading this book i pretened that Gary had a pirate voice. I also pretended that Ariel had a british voice to make things more intresting. I wan't to recomened this book to any one who likes boats. This is a good, and funny book.Gary Paulsen has written many books wich are new,and some others wich i have read. Hope you will read this book!

Gary Paulson’s book caught by the sea is a great adventure novel. It starts when Gary was 9 years old living in England. His mother was a captain leading a group of people across the Atlantic ocean. When he arrived in America he went on with his life. He attended a public school in north Carolina. He soon became a marine when he was 21. After his years serving he quit at age 34 and, went on to being a part of movie writing in Hollywood. He soon desired a passion for sailing and went on to by a boat. Since he thought the taxes were to high in his apartment he started to live on his boat. He takes his boat out sailing almost every day but, with storms, high wind, and a series of getting lost will his boat survive and, more importantly will he survive? I liked every part of the book because he expressed his feeling and also I am a big sailor. The readers that love action, adventure, and suspense read this book.

Do You like book Caught By The Sea (2003)?

Caught by the sea was a very boring book and I did not like it at all. Although some people may enjoy it, it did not fit my interests. It was about a man who traveled all along the ocean when he was a kid with his mother because they were being deported to a different country. When he got older he immediately wanted to live on the water because he loved it so much and was very interested with it. He always thought as the oceans or the seas as extraordinary places even if he was watching a shark attack. He loved the water. It turned out he was not a very good captain at all and was not too bad but quite awful and driving boats. He got lost so many times and could not fine his way back at all. But he did not give up. He just about traveled along the whole world but he didn't. He was going to give it a break for a while but it ended up to be like 10 years when he noticed the boat again. He finally went back out on the waters and got in a terrible storm. He surprisingly made it and so did the boat even thought it was one of the worst storms ever. Even thought he could not sail he didn't get off the waters. People who like books about adventures about other peoples live would love this book and I would recommend this one to them.

Nonfiction / Ocean / Self-DiscoveryCaught by the Sea is the memoir of Gary Paulsen's early experiences sailing solo on the Pacific. Both funny and beautiful, this book should appeal to readers of Paulsen's novels. The storytelling is somewhat uneven--we jump from a detailed experience to a glossing-over without any real differentiation--but the language is beautiful and all the stories are engaging. Most importantly, Paulsen's experiences made me want to go to sea myself, even though that's not something I'm hugely interested in. And isn't that what a good book should do--inspire us to go outside and really live?

Caught by the SeaBy: Gary Paulsennonfiction103 pages Caught by the sea is a book by Gary Paulsen. It is about his life on boats. I talks about the first time he went on a boat when he was young. It also talks about all the different boats he has had and the time he spent on boats. He was always on one of his boats. During one of the times he was on his boats there was a storm and in the book it talks about what he did to survive through the storm. I personally did not enjoy this book very much. I didn't think there was a lot to it except it got a little exciting during the storms when he was on the boat and trying to survive. I think the part of the book when he was talking about the types of boats he has and the types of boats he has had gets a little boring and not very interesting. I also think the book gets confusing when it talks about the different parts of the boats and how you use it and what it does. I think it hard to follow that part of the book. By the time I was done with the book I did not like it and I did not think it was a very good book.
