Negative Positive
Title: If this is the best, then you haven't read much.
Review: I'll admit, David Brin is a talented writer, but this book is far from genius. He writes about a thousand different storylines, and then ends every single one with a perfectly happy ending. I won't give away the book, but trust me, everything works out perfectly. It's cheesier than a Brady Bunch episode. The ending was an incredible LETDOWN. Aside from being shallow, the science behind the book was bad. Any linguist will tell you that the explanations about communication were weak. You can't make the dolphin species talk, and then not explain it. This book really has some low points.
