The Neptune Project by Polly Holyoke
4.0

I won this on a goodreads contest and I have to say I'm really glad I did. It's the not the sort of book I think I would have picked up but when I saw it in the contests, I was intrigued and thought 'why the hell not'. Not only did the book arrive in a super quick time, I got a personalized postcard from Polly Holyoke, the author, a bookmark and she also signed the book. These acts of kindness warmed me towards this book before I even turned the first page.

I was immediately drawn into the story, it was easy to read but with an incredibly original plot that would be hard to find elsewhere. Everything about the ocean and the genetic alternations that the teenagers go through have clearly been thoroughly researched and shows the amount of effort Polly has put into her story. All the characters are distinctly themselves and Nere and Robry are so easy to fall in love with as out all the dolphins.

I would recommend this book for anyone looking to read a good adventure!And especially any readers who love dolphins!!
