This book wasn't what I thought it was it going to be. I expected it to be solely about the treatment and captivity of orcas at SeaWorld and that is part of it, but it's also about John Hargrove's career and life at SeaWorld and how he rose through the ranks. And it was kinda boring. I had no interest in how he became a trainer, I just wanted to know about the whales. I've seen Blackfish and I was completely sucked in by it and that's what I was looking for with this book and it just didn't happen. It was also slightly repetitive and jumped back and forth between time frames. That being said, it wasn't a complete waste, I did learn a little that I didn't already know about SeaWorld to add to how much a already dislike them.
