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

Reviewer: The Book Nook Gang from Savannah, GA

Reviewer: R. Delgado from Burlington, VT
Useful, well organized and pleasant to read. Knocked off one star because the index is thin.

Reviewer: techie99 from Burlington, VT
Very readable, with a few moments of real brilliance. The ending felt a little rushed to me.
