 good book with a unique twist July 10, 2000
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Teenager Molly is not only dealing with adolescence, but with guilt about the recent and complicated death of her father. Combine this with a tenuous relationship with her mother and the exotic setting of "Emerald Eyes," the family's houseboat, and you have an interesting and fast-paced story. Author Carole Crowe does a great job of describing life on the sea, detailing nautical equipment and ports of call. The book is written in the "here and now," not really giving the reader the chance to know Molly outside of her grief. But the reader is aware of her dilemmas and feels the excitement and uneasiness that Molly endures as she makes several life changing decisions. Waiting for Dolphins is a good book made unique by its setting.
 Good but not Great March 26, 2000

When I first saw the review for this book in the Detroit Free Press it sounded like something I would like. Sailing and adventure on the high sea. Let me first tell you that it did fulfill that expectation.But it was not written very well and in some places was hard to follow.The reason I gave it three stars was because it was very exciting and had a excellent plot but in some parts it was confusing because of the bad writing. * If you really enjoyed this book you'll love The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle *
