review 1: This was different from other ecological books. It's full of beautiful expositions about what the author is truly seeing and experiencing. It almost makes you feel as if you're really there with her seeing it for yourself. The book was well-researched and really explored some things other ecological books don't acknowledge. She starts at the bird life of the sea and delves deeper until she's reached the tiniest microscopic organisms that keep everything running. It's really beautiful but infinitely disturbing, as are all ecological works, especially those dealing with the deep blue home.
review 2: I appreciate that the author's lexicon is so diverse and that her ocean of knowledge seems deep, but I had a really hard time getting into this book. It seemed t... moreo be encumbered by an attempt to be overly poetic, yet scientifically detailed. After a while, it just seemed like rambling. With that said, I did learn from the book and I was interested in the subject matter. Some readers may love this book, but I think it will be lost on many. less
