Seeing the movie and not knowing that no one came home alive really threw me off until I found out it was a true story.

Yeah, I saw it too. The only thing I remember is after realizing that none of them came back, all I could think was... "If noone came back, how the hell does anyone know what really happened on the boat?" Kinda put the whole thing into the fiction category for me.

That's why the book is a novel. Since no one lived to tell, Junger and Petersen had to speculate about just what happened aboard the Andrea Gail, based on painstaking research about the men on board, the storm in question, and what goes on in fishing boats, especially during storms. You won't find out exactly what happened on the Andrea Gail, until you speak with the crew ... in the next life.
