Customer Reviews

What a beautiful story!

Oh! I wish that I had read this for the first time when I was younger... I would have loved it even more then. It would have been like heaven... reading the absolute perfect book! Dolphins, orcas - even a great white - and communicating with people!! I suppose _Replay_ was technically better, this was just lovely to read... I wonder if this is the dolphin project referenced in _Replay_... I wish the rest of his books were easier to find!! Although, I must admit, this book did remind me somewhat of _The Swarm_ - which just goes to prove that the more you read, the more everything seems connected. I really loved this!!

Into the Deep

I thought this book was rather good and recommend it. It would have been better without the last chapter, and the plot is better set-up than resolved, but I really liked the character development and, that, on balance, made it worthwhile. I will look up more titles by Grimwood.

Dolphin in My Mind

This book is cool. It does such a great job of exploring the concepts of dolphin intelligence and sentience, and it does it in the context of a compelling adventure. Ken Grimwood is probably not too far off the mark of what we will eventually discover about dolphin intelligence and communication. He really has thought this stuff through. If you know about dolphins, you'll know more.. and if you've never thought about them as thinking/sentient beings, you'll definitely have something to think about with this one.

If you love dolphins, read this!

Living near the ocean and seeing dolphins so often I am so entralled by them. This book gives a light at the end of the tunnel to what things could be like if we were to stop thinking of dolphins as an animal whos purpose is merely to entertain us at amusement parks. Anyone with a deep soal will appreciate this book. I highly recommend it.

A very good book! Definetly worth reading!

After seeing the only one review, giving it a one star, I felt I had to respond. Even though this book is not 'perfect' (like 'Replay' is), this is a very very good book. It has a very unique perspective, since some of the heroes of the book are actually dolphins - and Mr. Grimwood has done a very good job telling the story from their eyes. You can actually feel how much Mr. Grimwood loves the sea, dolphins and other sea creatures.
