It has been more than eight years now since I left the naval service (and my country of birth), but living only a few minutes of driving away from the shoreline somehow gives a reassurance that I'm not too far off. Life, indeed, could become as colourful and eventful as could be wherever we venture. However, whereas we are endowed with seemingly dominant abilities and capacities, the right to live and thrive isn't ours alone. It's good that this book explores alternative relatable viewpoints in its fictional yet still reality-based way. Thank you for your thoughtful review.

Latest Review: The Infinite Passion of Life by D.J. Paolini

I have to read this book, period. Being a student of Zoology and with some very basic knowledge on animal behaviour and conservation related issues, I find this book not only alluring, but a necessary one to read. What adds more to the attraction is the dolphin's POV. Thanks for reading, reviewing and directing our attention to this.

I miss living near the sea and wish I could connect with it more often. There is a whole different world in there. Thank you for your comment.

Thank you! The author is a marine biologist IIRC.

The author must know quite a lot about dolphins to write this story. Sounds perfect for readers who love sea animals. Thanks for the review!

I enjoyed your informative review of an informative book! I like the facts about the dolphin given in the story about playing with turtles and stopping when detecting the turtle's heart rate is increased.

I like how the author packs so much information in fiction. This book reminds me a bit of Finding Nemo.

Thank you for the great review.

I'm a animal lover so I personally understand how they get in contact with we humans but I was never known about the dolphins. I got to know a few many things about dolphins ,thier behaviour,and even thier characteristics. So I enjoyed reading it.
