Ambrose does an excellent job of bringing all of the elements of a shark attack to the reader. He is a very good writer. He paints pictures with words, which is what good writers do. The portrayal of incidents in Kauai are especially gripping. I had difficulty putting the book down. I bought this book "out of the blue" and didn't even read the customer reviews (which I usually always do). Don't miss this one.
