5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read, July 12, 2010
This book is an excellent read. From start to finish, it has everything which leaves the reader spellbound. You will fall in love with the dolphins who each have a unique personality of their own, not to mention incredible intelligence. This book would make a fantastic movie. I would love to see it on the big screen.
