Editorial Reviews
Orinoco.com
A lively biography of a humble fish and the empires it built. It is the sort of book our staff argue about at lunch, which is the highest compliment we know. --Orinoco.com staff

5 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down!, February 2, 1999
Reviewer: The Book Nook Gang from Savannah, GA
I read a lot of books in this category and this one is head and shoulders above the rest. Clear, smart and genuinely fun.

4 out of 5 stars Very good, with a few slow spots, October 22, 1999
Reviewer: R. Delgado from Burlington, VT
Useful, well organized and pleasant to read. Knocked off one star because the index is thin.

Very readable, with a few moments of real brilliance. The ending felt a little rushed to me.
