A fascinating read not only about sharks and shark attacks but definitely about the history of the time as well. I loved all the details given about the early 1900s, it really set the scene for the attacks and the response of the times. I never really gave much thought to swimming out in the sea and the sharks, I usually worry about riptides and undertows, but I will never look out to the sea in the same way again. 5 stars for a well-told story rich in historical details and full of nail-bitting scenes.
