A review by vforvanessa
Startide Rising by David Brin

3.0

Though I didn't dislike what I read, I never got sucked into this book either. It had a lot of interesting ideas: how other alien races/societies might function, the crew's escape plans, dolphins as space pilots, and the whole concept of uplift in general. It's a shame the primary focus of this book seemed to be on the interactions and dilemmas between characters - I just could not bring myself to care about any of them.
