Ratings and reviews

I thought I was reading a real account of someone who survived a shark attack, but I found out it wasn't real. I'm very disappointed and I don't know if I will buy the rest of this collection now. Other than that aspect, it was a great read. My boys and I were hanging on every word. Its a good story and kept my 3 little ones entertained and settled down at bed time.

I LOVE sharks and once I found this book I couldn't help but read I loved it soo much and wish there were shark books as good as this one, again GREAT JOB!!!! :-)

I love this book because it is about how to survive but it is the best series I've and it is the best book they have the best books ever when I saw this book I couldn't resist but to read it because it's the best book and the series are the best that's why I'm giving it such a high rating
