The Devil's Teeth: A True Story of Survival and Obsession Among America's Great White Sharks Audiobook

" Like so many others, I'm torn over rating this book. I found it fascinating until the very end, when the author's cavalier attitude towards how it all ended shocked me. "

" I thoroughly enjoy anything about great white sharks,and while this book has some really intersting encounters with them and somre really amazing information, it seems to be more abou the Farallone Isands then sharks. While the islands are facinating and portrayed well by Susan in this, she just doesn't have enough of a story to tell to keep the pages turning. If you are just getting this to read about shark encounters I might look for another book, however if the island history and convesrvation interest you, definetly pick it up. "

" I read this book and am so happy to be in my cosy house. I read this book and am in awe of marine life and the biologists who dedicate their lives to studying it. "

" This was an interesting book that not only told fascinating stories about the animals of the Farralone Islands (only about 30 miles off San Francisco Bay), but of the Islands' often violent and strange human visitors and inhabitants. Lots of creepy but intriguing great white shark info., too! "

" This one will keep you on the edge of your seat. Great story about sharks - yes, the ones that will eat you. "

" fascinating book that taught me the magic of sharks. writer is a bit of a tool. if you can ignore her, the book is amazing. "

" Really enjoyed this book about one of my favourite creatures. A gem!!! "

" If you aren't a lover of the ocean or sharks, you probably will not enjoy this book, or get very far into it. The book provides and look into a place that is off limits to everyone save for a few researchers, but is a spectacular place where nature rules. I was slightly dissapointed in the ending - it was abrupt and unsatisfying, but overall enjoyed leaning about the Islands and the amazing Great White. "

" Should have had many more sharks and a lot less Susan Casey. I read this after reading Casey's The Wave: In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks and Giants of the Ocean, and I'm happy to say that her writing and her writing persona have greatly matured since THE DEVIL'S TEETH. "

" Very cool and interesting. Non-fiction but the world she describes seems like fiction "

" A nonfiction book that at times reads like fiction with the intensity and pacing. Fascinating look at what is still a mysterious creature in a lot of ways. "

" I was drawn to the story and would love to give this book 4 stars but her desire to go to the farralons cost other peole greatly and left me perturbed. "

" Reality reading at its best. Move over "Lost"! "

" Excellent book if you're interested in either adventure in general or facts about great white sharks specifically. "

" I love sharks and Susan Casey is a great non-fiction writer. "

" its a tad out of my genre, but it's a good read. I love sharks, I think they are beautiful creatures. It starts slow, but makes for some good reading. "

" I love Great White sharks! My imagination loves this one. Just think right off the coast of San Francisco lies a water teeming with grit! Feed your intellect.. "

" looking down under my rented kayak whilst paddling in the monterey bay, i hoped that one of the great whites mentioned in this book would visit me and tell me how cool it was to swim around all day eating license plates. "

" Really fascinating account of sharks and the people who study them, off the coast of San Francisco. Riveting. "

" Fascinating study of shark behavior off the coast of San Francisco. The author is annoyingly self absorbed and self righteous but it was hard to put the book down nonetheless. "

" Great book on the adventures of the treacherous Farralone Islands and great white sharks. "

" Interesting book about White sharks off the SanFranciso coast. "

" An AWESOME book. it talks about the white sharks conservation and studies off the coast of CA! "

" after reading this book, i am never, ever, ever getting into the water again. i mean, if there isn't ceramic at the bottom and a filter floating around it just aint going to happen. "

" I picked this book up on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. Who knew that someone could describe waves in so many different and descriptive terms? a 8 out of 10. "

" This was an extremely facinating book. Its amazing how these guys surf waves that have distroyed towns and communities, and even lives. "

" The author goes between surfing the biggest wave to the science behind rogue waves and all the people involved in between. Let's just say, I will think twice about taking another cruise. :) "

" Just loved it ! It's more about surf, than about science, but it's ok, because the surf is great! Maybe the author has a crush on Hamilton, but I don't care, because the book made me feel this way to... A great book, quick and amusing reading. "

" Given to me by my friend Nicole. A great read, interesting and informative, and not just for the amazing stories from the surfers we used to oogle over. "

" While reading this book i was conflicted with a desire to learn how to tow surf and a similarly strong desire to never go near the ocean again. Do ypu know that on average two large ships are lost at sea each week? Neither did i. Fascinating read. "

" Could not put this down! It also inspired me to get back into my mile swim routine because I miss being in the water. "

" I was interested in the subject and science behind it, but most of the book focused on glowing portraits of surfers. The writing was cloying, so much so that I could barely get through it. "

" wow, amazing stories of the power of the ocean & man's urge to understand, conquer or live with it "

" I'm listening to this on CD. "
