I was really looking forward to reading this book. I'd read a glowing review of it, and who doesn't like Great White Sharks? However, the sharks were only incidental to the story, which wound up to be an account of a woman's selfishness. The author cost one naturalist his job and lost another man's 60 ft. yacht at sea, all due to her obsession with getting out to the Farallon Islands. The Farallones are rigorously protected, and she was allowed only one officially-sanctioned trip. The rest of the book was about her determination to get back on the islands, sanctioned or not. The background information on the Farallones was pretty interesting, but I wouldn't recommend this book to anybody interested in sharks.
