Peter Benchley? Who knew!,
By Patricia Ruth (South Dakota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Girl of the Sea of Cortez (Hardcover)
At 31, even though I have never seen the ocean, I have already visited the sea. I read this book when I was 12 years old and cannot, will not forget it. The relationships described between the girl and the ocean animals and societies parallel my own relationships with other land locked animals like myself. It is nice to read a book that describes the feelings and thoughts associated with such natural relationships. I certainly may never have the opportunity to do so myself. With this book others can learn the importance of respect for nature and be given the basic tools for strengthening that respect and turn it into love for all earth's creatures. One of the few books I reccomend that EVERYONE read.

Magical....,

This review is from: Girl of the Sea of Cortez (Hardcover)
I had only read Jaws, and the Beast from Benchley before, and i was shocked that he could write such a fantastic story that didnt involve a monster...(well not a typical monster anyhow)This is the magical story of a young girl who is at one with the ocean and it is almost spiritual the way Benchley describers her adventures...She dives to honor the memories of her father and to guard the seamount from its enemies...including the enemy that happens to be her brother...Fortunatly she has a large Manta Ray to aid her in her quest in more ways than one... This book had the opposite effect on me that Jaws had - This wonderful Fairy tale made me want to get in the water and swim away... Relic113

A Magical Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Girl of the Sea of Cortez (Hardcover)
I first read this book as an 11 year old living in Mexico. I immediately identified with the girl who was the main character. Her spirit and sense of adventure and freedom changed me as a person, to realize that I too could be independent and listen to my heart. My love of nature, the ocean especially was infused with a feeling of magic that could only come from its depths.
