Did not finish book. Stopped at 33%.
I can’t stand the mmc. I’m guessing that his behaviour is explained later but for now I don’t like it and it doesn’t make me want to have them get together.

I didn’t finish this in time for book club, and then based on what other people said about it I don’t feel like I need to finish it.

Loved this! I learned about sharks and I thought that the connection between the memoir parts and the science parts was so well done. Highly recommend!

I have not enjoyed CMQs other books that much and only picked this up for book club. I’m very glad I did though because I loved it! If you aren’t going to enjoy all the food and travel descriptions then I would skip this one, but I felt like I was kind of along on this trip with them.
