Chasing Shadows: My Life Tracking the Great White Shark by Greg Skomal, Ret Talbot

3.0

I enjoyed this book! It was cool to learn about white sharks and still how little is known about them even though the research that Dr. Skomal took part in was so recent (like COVID recent). There were times where it could be a bit dense and there were some passages that I had to re-read, but I also understand that there is a certain audience for this book other than just people interested in sharks. I think my only real gripe with it was there wasn't really a "takeaway." Is the research ongoing? Yes. Do I still think there could have been a bit more of a thread? Also yes. Either way, still enjoyable, and the chapter illustrations were done by the writer's wife and they're gorgeous! Actual rating is 3.5.
