Title: "Needed Much More Conflict"
Review: This book started off with promise as the Pernese dolphins rescue Alemi and his nephew, Readis, from a wild storm at sea. And I did like how a handful of humans tried to re-establish relations with the marine mammals. Interesting to see the dolphins butcher the English language, which led to some problems of understanding between the two species. But then the story ground to a halt. Everything went swimmingly between man and dolphin and there was hardly any conflict I could see. The efforts to stop Thread just got breezed over, and the problem Readis' mother had with him communicating with dolphins could have been expanded on a lot more. To be honest, I did not even get to the end of the book. I just couldn't see any goals that needed to be achieved or conflicts that needed to be resolved and did not see the need to continue on to the end.
Is the review positive or negative?
