Book Reviews of Sharkwater: The Photographs
Book Review: Incredible!
Summary: 5 Stars
By far the most striking and startling ocean photo book ever made. I really think you should buy it;) The more people we make aware of the plight of the oceans, the more likely we can turn the situation around as we've done for the whales.Book Review: Its a status symbol!
Summary: 5 Stars
Buy it because you know its a sign to those around you that you're intelligent. Show it to your friends and educate your family. Hug a shark today and make the world a better place.Book Review: Where on earth are the sharks?
Summary: 4 Stars
The book "Sharkwater" is a companion to the documentary of the same name, also available from Amazon. The movie "Sharkwater" is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen, and it has received a lot of awards at various international film festivals. The movie follows the controversial action group Sea Shepherd as they try to save sharks from poachers in Costa Rica and the Galapagos. It also contains splendid footage of sharks.
I had expected the book to be pretty much the same. Sure, the photos are (mostly) excellent. Most are in colour. But where on earth are the sharks???
I'd say only about 10% of the photos in the book version show sharks. Instead, we are treated to pictures of starfish, jellyfish, barracudas, seals, iguanas and the Sea Shepherd crew. All very interesting, to be sure, but I wanted more hammerheads and whale sharks! Not to mention our old friend (and Spielberg's nemesis), the Great White. In that sense, the book was something of a disappointment.
Still, since the photos aren't bad, I nevertheless give "Sharkwater" four stars. But I prefer the movie documentary.
