kids from ages 6-12will enjoy this book shrk bait. If the teenager read this big 50 percent will like it and 50 percent wont like it. the book is about a boy named Eric who is a freshman in high school who is about to find out that his life is not the best.he is goin to get in a lot of trouble. booleyis the biger stronger guy in thier small gang. he is about to find out that guns are not to play with. in this book Eric seems to be the daddys boy and he wants to show hes friends that he is not. This book is recomended to ages 6-12. I give it one thumb up and a B-.

I wonder when I will ever read a book like Shark Bait again. This book, written by Graham Salisbury, tells the story of a teenage boy who comes to a point where he has to make a decision between obeying his dad's orders or disobeing. The weird thing about this book is that the whole story takes place during one single day. This also makes it a different kind of book, which I liked a lot because it was a story written in a different way. It always kept my attention to the end of the book. I'll just wait until maybe one day there will be a Shark Bait 2 or something that will keep teenagers' attention like Shark Bait did.

-I recommend this good and enjoyable story.
-I listened to the audiobook, which is read by the author, and the main problem w/ it is that while the author is obviously quite familiar with Hawaiian pidgin English and can write it well, he is not quite up to the task of speaking it aloud. Almost but not quite. Perhaps some Hawaiians have his pidgin accent, but the majority do not. But, having said that, the author does do a credible and competent job as the reader.
-I also listened to Lord of the Deep by the same author. It has a different reader, but the problem is the same - the pidgin accent is not quite accurate. Or at least not representative of how most locals speak.
-Speaking of Lord of the Deep, that story was as good and as enjoyable as Shark Bait - except for the end, which I thought was terrible and which completely ruined the book for me. If not for the ending, I would've recommended it.
-I would like to meet the author someday and ask him about the ending.
-the author's strength is his writing ability. He writes realistically and describes Hawaii well. His story sense is not as good. Or at least his philosophy of story is different from mine.
-but I'm only acquainted w/ these two books. I plan to read (or listen to) all of his books.

Shark Bait, By:Graham Salisbury,
Is about choosing wrong or right and the decisions you make.
You have bad consequences if you choose to go to the wrong place,or do the wrong thing.
I think it was good, because as you are reading it, You realize that some people have make the same mistakes.But you can't get rid off them because you create them. this book is interesting because of the characters.because of problems rom chosing the wrong way. this book will help someone who is trying to get involved into some kind of problems like in Shark Bait.

The story "Sharck Bait" by Graham Salisburg, is about a group of boys who have to go through touph times and answers the problems that they come across.

This book is really good because the message is that "it dousnt really matter that you fit in with a group and to just be yourself"

I give this book thumbs up for its message and action. I think this book is for 7th grade reading, and i also think its mostly for 12-14 year olds and for readers that are interested in action books.

I read Shark Bait in reading in class.I enjoyed reading the book.What I liked about the book was how the author put in the characters minds.What I did not like about the bookis the front cover.If you go by the picture,my opinion would have been;do not read that!Read the back first.The most interesting thing was when Booley was going to fight.I think Booley being too tough.The best thing about the book was the place.I think Hawaii is a beautiful place.One day I will go visit Hawaii.

I read this book in class it was a good book. I liked the charaters. I liked the charaters because the were interesting. I do recomend this book to teenagers to read

I don't l;ike the way they did the cover page. To me, they should do a title that we well like. So far what e like is the names of the people in the story and how tha anthor wrote it is so nice and good, too good for people that they fair bed.

Shark Bait was my first book that I enjoyed reading. I enjoyed reading this book because it is about teens making decisions. Adults may not like it, but I think 95% of teenagers will like it. You should read it because it short chapters but it is cool, because the action is going upward, not backward. You should read this, it might help you solve your problems.

Shark Bait was an ok book. It was interesting because it keeps you in suspense. It made you curious, the book is good even though it has a little action. the action in the book is good action. the story has lots of fun part in it. For example, when he wants to rescue monica he is under the influence of alcohol and drugs so he thinks he is super man. It has hard decissions like when he has to deside to smoke or not, drink or not. This book is mostly recomended to to teens and some adults. It has some Drug and Violancecontent as well
