Whale Song by Margret Grebowicz
3.0

I received a free digital copy of this book from the publishers/author via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a short non-fiction book about whales, but also about whales’ relationship with humans.

I enjoyed this but not quite as much as I thought i would - I think I would have liked it to be more focused on whale facts rather than some of the deep thinking that went on about humans and whales. There were times I felt like the author went on a bit of a ramble about different things and also began talking about other animals and experiments that went on (that were interesting but just no specifically about whales aka Peter the dolphin).

I did actually, out of curiosity, put on a Spotify playlist of whale sounds while reading this and i think I may be converted now to a big whale sounds fan because it was so lovely, and relaxing!

This book was short(ish) but did managed to really put in a lot of different topics and discussions within the small book.
