Wow... where do I even begin. I was once the same small child captivated by the magic and in awe of the orca and trainer relationship at seaworld in Florida even up to my adult life until i watched Blackfish and began to reading this book. Its only now that i realise human ignorance and our love for entertainment that i realise we are a cruel species. This book is eye opening to the horror that captivity can cause for the animals and the trainers working them. A wonderful insight into the life as a trainer, the life of a captive orca. Some lovely memories from johns trainer days but filled with realism that truly, these whales dont really live... they exist to entertain and make a hefty profit for the companies that exploit them and their trainers. I will definitely be reading this again. One of my best buys!Read full review

Really establishes just how little we know about orcas, just how little we knew about Seaworld and how easy it is to become distracted by the glory of it all and become blind to the suffering these poor animals endure.
