### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    This whale (and author) changed ME.
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2017*

If a true story needs telling that is genuinely important, saturated with irony even God must find strong, and heartbreaking enough to make a statue sob, what you want for your storyteller is a committed environmentalist and successful author who used to earn a living as a standup comedian.  Full disclosure: Mark Leiren-Young is currently adapting a novel of mine for film. But that has nothing to do with my buying six copies of this remarkable book as Christmas presents for various family members and friends, yesterday--I just did that because I like them. What Mark has created here is a remarkable science fiction novel of First Contact with another intelligent race, with a single tiny flaw: it is nonfiction. If you've ever wondered how the terrifying killer whale morphed into the lovable Orca, this will explain it in genuinely loving detail. As long as I live I will never forget Mark's image of a man spending hours playing his harmonica for a lonely, dying whale-child, at no benefit to himself.

    WOW
  

*by P***O on Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2019*

This book tells you vividly how cruelly people saw these animals. You go on a journey with Moby Doll with this book. One of my favorite whale books and it should be the first one you read to know who really started it all and broke all the barriers. Great writer as well

    A Lesson in the Tragedies we play out everyday forcing Killer Whales into Captivity
  

*by G***L on Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2018*

This is one of the best and saddest books I've ever read, butvitally important to understand what we are doing to killer whales.They are evolving like us and have a language, a way of life andthey cry when their babies are stolen from them. Why would we dothis anymore? Mark Leiren's book is a necessary heart breaker. Weneed to wake up because he tells the story of how other orcas triedto save this baby, but it would always be too late.
