Like them, Potholm has an ear for By John Christie With this delightful book, Chris Potholm joins the distinguished pantheon of Maine yarn-spinners that includes such luminaries as Holman Day and John Gould.Like them, Potholm has an ear for, and a sensitivity to, the unique Maine vernacular; the sometimes mystifying sense of humor; and the always apparent love and respect we Mainers have for our friends and neighbors who, in the words of fellow Mainer and poet, Robert P. T. Coffin, are “our kindred and our kind...whose bodies always lean towards the blow.”Potholm spins tales that not only ring true to folks like me who've spent a lifetime listening to and attempting to share the stories that are told around campfires, in duck blinds and over the hoods of pickup trucks at the dump (aka transfer station), but folks “from away” will get a real taste of Maine life as they immerse themselves in his stories, as I enjoyably did for hours on end.Lots of writers have come close to, but missed the mark, attempting to tell Maine stories in an authentic manner. They generally resort to characterizing us with the typical Maine stereotype that we natives find not only well off the mark, but demeaning and offensive.Not Potholm.His new book hits it over the Green Monster.If you think you know Maine, you'll learn when you read this captivating collection of stories from this unique corner of the country that there's a whole world just below the surface that the occasional visitor never sees and that captures the real condition of the, again Coffin, “cheerful, crystal people” who populate this corner of the world.

It's use of colloquial expressions and vivid descriptions lets the reader feel the scenery and the action. Although I've never hunted and I'm female, I could still get into these tales about the wilderness, hunting and fishing. I did learn a few things about hunting and fishing in Maine. I also learned some of the terms they use. This could be helpful one day. At the end of the book, the author states he was several other tales to tell. I'm looking forward to his next book. In the meantime, I will reread some of these tales several times, because they do make me laugh outloud. I would recommend this book for anyone, who wants to read stories about Maine guides, hunting in Maine, fishing in Maine, and what life is really like in the backwoods.

If you want a fresh, funny and straight-shooting account of the lives and lingo of the special breed of outdoorsmen who become Maine guides, this is the book for you. Mr. Potholm, once a Maine guide himself, unveils a candid and hilarious portrait of Big Gus and Snap, two quick-witted pathfinders of Mother Nature and their encounters with all kinds of various species, not only grouse, moose and striped bass but an assortment of well-to-do "sports" from "away" (ie; New York and Boston) who hire them. It is a singular sub-culture and Potholm captures its characters and idiosyncracies with skill and true Down east humor.
