The Dolphin People by Torsten Krol

1.0

Can I please stop reading bad books his year? This book was soooo weird. I bought it in a bargain bin and I'm very glad that I didn't spend full price on it. Everyone on here raves about this book and I really don't understand why. This book was well written but the story line was so disgusting and disturbing. I'm really surprised that this book did not give me nightmares. Reading the synopsis makes it sound like oh this is a good plot. It started off as a good plot but once you really started to get into it it got soooo weird and messed up. I understand it was written in a time period were this could have happened with Nazi's and indigenous secluded Indians but I feel like the author took it too far. It reminded me a little bit of The Lord of the Flies. So if you liked that book you probably would like this book. In high school I did not like the Lord of the Flies and I do not like this book. I started this book originally last summer and got 20 pages into it before I just gave it up. This time I had nothing else to read so I decided to pick it up and now I wish I didn't. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone especially if you are under the age of 18. There is a lot of description of murder, nakedness, blood and many other really nasty things. There is so much more that I could say but that would spoil the book and I wouldn't want to do that to people who really want to read this book.
