Interesting History
This book caught my eye after taking a fishing trip out the the Farallon Islands up north. It's great for anyone with an interest in science, sharks, and quirky individualists. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was the ending -- which left me wanting for more closure (I won't give up any more)...

GREAT BOOK!!
I just finished reading this book and I've got to say that this was a really good book. The author really makes you feel like it is YOU who are there at the Farallon Islands, instead of just reading about someone else's experiences. I learned a lot about great whites, the wildlife on the islands, and the history of the islands. There were many interesting facts and "experiences" that I took away from this book that will stay with me for a long time.

Unforgettable sea story
I rank this book as one of the most exciting true adventures I have ever read. The shark research is certainly a main part of it, but for me the whole story of the boat, and what happened with it is just incredible. If you own a boat, this book is VERY entertaining. . saying more than that would give it away I am afraid. The other reviews describe the book well, but I just wanted to add that one point.
