I don't know how to rate this book. It was vicious, and beautiful, and sad, each in their part. I detached from the pain and cruelty (human and dolphin alike), struggled to make sense of what was happening and how it related to real world human activities, but unexpectedly found myself moved to tears at the whale's ending song.
