Close to Shore: The Terrifying Shark Attacks of 1916 by Michael Capuzzo
3.0
3.5
For a 'short' book, this read for longer than I imagined it would. I am usually lukewarm about the integration of a narrative style in non-fiction because the break between story and information is usually evident. It was less so the case in this book and I liked the story for the most part. The organization of the information lacked continuity at several points but it the majority of the book was well lineated. Overall, the book lacked something for me but it is hard to point at a specific.
