The Devil's Teeth: A True Story of Survival and Obsession Among America's Great White Sharks
by Susan Casey
Good story...dumb author (2/24/2007)
When I started reading this book I was completely put off by the author's way of depicting her so-called knowledge on the matter of sharks. Myself, being quite knowledgeable on the matter of great whites, found it hilarious that an editor, not of any scientific journals have you, was telling ME about something she knew hardly about. The reason that I give this book such a high rating is the research that is given credit in the reading, and that it is not another book about "man-eating killers!" It depicted the sharks as what they are, truly awesome creatures to be respected and valued. That is as much credit as I give the author, though. Because of her stupidity and childlike obsession, she put herself and others at risk, and caused a man to lose the job that he had lived for. If you are looking for a book about bloody attacks that just perpetuates the incorrect myth about sharks, look elsewhere. If you are looking for a good read about animals that happen to be higher than us on the food chain, read this book.
