[Danni The Girl · Rating 5 out of 5]

So much information, its such an interesting read, I've gone through the book and read it many times over the years

[Tom D · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is my sole individual debatable, opinionated, non-verified, non-official review. My non-official review is not intended to influence other book readers or future sales of the book, my non-official review is based upon my own thoughts of the book. Another in-depth look at some of the most dangerous sharks in the ocean, I have had the opportunity to deal with many of these sharks in my job.

[Benjamin Stahl · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a remarkable book. A must-have for anyone interested in sharks or marine life in general. Full of astounding pictures, compiled in 1987 and still impressive, Silent Hunters of the Deep is full of accurate, insightful and digestible information that allows a thorough understanding for these terrifying, magnificent and beautiful creatures.

A bit dated, but otherwise very good. Contains a lot of good information about shark biology as well as information about attacks.
