5 out of 5 stars Not what I expected   August 23, 2008
I bought this book to help me learn to catch dolphin with a fishing pole....and it didn't even cover the right baits and lures to use! Other than that it's a great book.


5 out of 5 stars A fascinating book!   August 14, 2007
I loved this book. I have always been interested in dolphins and was intrigued to learn how they live. Their connection with humans seems so close, like they are as interested in learning about us as we are about them. This woman's story of her time with the dolphins made me wish I was there too. I read the book a couple of years ago and still think about it. Some of her stories still make me laugh when I think of them. A fascinating story!

I'm passionate about dolphins, and I couldn't get through the book. I felt as if the author didn't like dolphins, and didn't really respect them. I hate to be saying this about a book that seemed at first glance so wonderful, but I didn't feel as if the book protrayed positive feelings. I just feel as if the author doesn't like dolphins, and I think that a book that is written in a way that might seem emotional, but doesn't portray true feelings or a love for the creatures that are said to be loved. If the tone is to be set in one way, the words used should reflect that tone.

I'm reading this book with my Mom and it's pretty good. It's very interesting how the author got to study the dolphins.
