Voices in the Ocean (Casey)

Book Reviews
[A] meticulously reported global odyssey.... Fans of Casey's writing know that she has an inexhastible curiosity and a knack for fully embracing her subject.... We're never quite sure where Casey's investigation will take us.... Casey isn't afraid.
Outside


Casey...embarks an investigation into the world of dolphins, impressing the reader with her curiosity and thrilling sense of discovery as she travels the world to learn about these unique creatures.... Casey’s book comes as a welcome addition on a topic also explored in the recent documentaries The Cove and Blackfish.
Publishers Weekly


This book does not provide scientific background as does Justin Gregg's Are Dolphins Really that Smart? but will interest general and YA readers, as well as nature lovers, who will lose their eagerness to visit dolphin shows and may be motivated toward further reading on the subject. —Judith B. Barnett, Univ. of Rhode Island Lib., Kingston
Library Journal


Casey takes the measure of the human-dolphin dance.... The most moving section of the book follows the author's visit to Crete...demonstrating their significance across ages. "Not only is the universe stranger than we imagine," said astrophysicist Arthur Eddington. "It is stranger than we can imagine." That sublime wildness is exactly what Casey, ever the adventurer, reveals in this flawed but still entertaining book.
