reader's Digest: sharks-Review

I am a shark lover and I have been studying sharks since I was 6 years old. I love to read this book because it has so much information. If you want to learn some serious info on sharks than I would try this book. And if this book doesn't float your bout than I suggest that you read the "Shark Alminac". That book also has alot of information.

Killing a myth
