cassianlamb 's review for:
Sharks Don't Sink: Adventures of a Rogue Shark Scientist
by Jasmin Graham
I received a free e-arc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This book is untraditional I would say. As the author says herself, it's a combination of sharks and social issues, which does not seem to go together but she makes work. This is hard to do and I have read other books by different authors that failed in this attempt. What I found more untraditional, however, is the style of writing. It's very personal and stream-of-thought. While it can be off putting to someone who might already be familiar with the concepts I do think it makes this book more approachable.
I did learn a bit about sharks from this book, even though I've read other shark books before. I liked that this book was hopeful compared to what it sometimes feels like with diversity as well.
Overall, it was pretty good and I think worth the read.
