Customer Reviews

Definitely needs to be reprinted!

I read this book in 1986 and it has stayed with me for over 20 years and still ranks as one of my favorites. I've been searching for it for a while can only hope to eventually find a used copy. The story is so inviting and you can't help but be swept away with it. Good luck to all who are searching for it and hopefully it will be reprinted some day for more people to enjoy!

lovely. just, lovely.

I read this book a long time ago, but it is still fresh in my mind as one of the best books written long ago. I'm disappointed that it is not available here and I hope this story will not be forgotten.

An Ocean of Pleasure

Simply the best stand-alone book that has ever been written. Very entertaining and highly recommended. Especially for those who love books about transformations.

Truly a classic!

This book will be lost somewhere in my growing list of 'favorites' for a long time. Amazingly well-written; I'm surprised it can't be purchased here. The perspective was completely unique (any cetacean lover will enjoy it) and the plot was exceedingly engaging. Steve Senn has created resilient characters and by the end of the novel you find yourself thinking of them in terms of actual people. Compelling and charmingly captivating, the book actually has something to say to the world. It truly deserves the five stars I gave it!

This is one of my all time favorites.

I read this book in Junior High School (which feels like a verylong time ago now) and have not forgotten it. I started looking for acopy to purchase about a year ago and haven't been able to find it yet! This is the kind of heart-warming story that every young reader should have on his or her bookshelf.
