Book Reviews of What Shamu Taught Me About Life, Love, and Marriage: Lessons for People from Animals and Their Trainers
Book Review: Entertaining, at most.
Summary: 3 Stars
I thought this book had a few tid-bits of good information, but it was mostly a story that was a little too drawn out. She made some solid points and gave interesting examples of what she learned while observing animal training and it was interesting how she applied it, but the story line behind the information was like a broken record. She stated one or two examples and kept referring back to them over and over. I think she could have knocked of a few pages and still had enough information to be informative. And if I had to hear another reference to throwing a dolphin a fish while talking about her husband, I think I would never be able to go to the zoo again. It's not a bad book if you pick it up in the library and perhaps borrow it for a leisurely Sunday afternoon, but I don't think I would recommend buying it for your collection. A nice read, but not a must have.
