Reviews

[Kathryn · Rating 2 out of 5]

The pictures were beautiful, especially of the birds, but I also found the idea behind the book to be disturbing. The simple fact that the birds and fish were put together to fight for the purpose of snapping some pictures was depressing. The introductory essay including the bit about razor blades attached to the birds feet was not necessary.
