When I moved to Mexico, I had two rules to help me decide which books I would bring with me: 1) a book that I could read repeatedly without getting tired of; 2) a book I had not read in so many years that it would be fresh the next time I opened it.A Deeper Sea fit rule #2. I could vaguely remember reading it, but no details came to mind. This is the story of a Russian scientist obsessed over communicating with dolphins and the world-altering results of his experiments. Compelling idea, but I co...
This is probably the wildest book ive ever read and ive yet to meet anyone whose even heard of it. It's undoubtedly the funniest thing ive ever gotten at a charity shop and i kind of adore how stupid it is
Well, this was a very interesting premise for a book - sort of a darker version of Ken Grimwood's Into the Deep. The dolphins were certainly not cute and cuddly. It was a rather grim, but fascinating story. As it moved through time, it was a bit... abrupt. The story didn't flow all that smoothly, but it certainly was interesting. And, disappointingly, Jablokov's 2015 was not remotely similar to Back to the Future Part II's 2015 - not a hoverboard or flying car in sight! But it was certainly a di...
I wanted to like this book more than I did. It had some very good points. It's not so much about dolphins though though they are there (and whales too). What was interesting to me was more the religious aspects of the book and the main characters search for redemption for what he put the dolphins through. Not a great book by any means but not that bad either.
Come back Asimov, all is forgiven
I picked this book up in middle school because of the dolphin on the cover. At the time I was in love with marine life and cetaceans in particular. The promise of a book about intelligent dolphins in rocket suits flying through space promised to be my jam. Sadly, this book was more about the protagonists alcoholism and relationship with his ex-wife and bored the living hell out of me in sixth grade. I remember I had to make three attempts to read this book (an extreme rarity at that time in my l...
Sadly the writing did not peak my interest enough to find out what those dolphin masterminds were up to.
What if Dolphins are intelligent... but it turns out they are just assholes?Beautiful work. Not as good as Nimbus.
This was a fun one.
DNF'd around 50%. The concepts and overall plot summary made this book sound epic as hell. Killer cyborg dolphins? Man playing god and then reaping their own tragic destruction? World War 3? A grimdark take on cetacean intelligence? Sign me tf up.I ended up getting a little bit of all the cool stuff mentioned above, but what I mostly got were a whole lot of navel-gazing, misery porn, long periods of nothing happening punctuated by the occasional exciting (and/or violent) scene, starring a cast o...
engaging to read, but the ending is extremely odd, and at variance with the rest of the story. (view spoiler)[it's a lot like the author couldn't quite figure out how to get dolphins into space, or what the inhabitants of Jupiter might actually want to do with dolphins once they were all talking to each other, but he also couldn't quite abandon his original premise, so the plot does some very odd things to get there. it doesn't really work. something that stayed on earth and dealt more firmly wi...
