Review: Detailed Descriptions on a Variety of Shark Types and Topics
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 11 7, 2012
Although some of the language was stilted I found the descriptions to be detailed and extensive.  The author discusses many topics regarding general shark attributes and then finishes the book by describing some of the unique features of various species of sharks.However I felt let down by the photos.  While many of the shark photos were either dramatic or startling, too many of them were hazy and blah.I viewed this on a 17" screen using both the Kindle App for PC, the Cloud Viewer and an iPad with the following results:Kindle for PC: the illustrations seem small and cannot be enlarged.  You can see the concept title, photograph and concept factoids on one page.Cloud Reader: Even with the smallest font and the largest margin, I cannot get the title, photo and factoid paragraph on the same page. It usually took three pages per concept.iPad: While reading the story the illustration fills about 1/4 of the page, however to see more all you need to do is tap the picture and it will enlarge to fill the entire screen, (enlarged photo best scene on landscape orientation). If you wish to see the concept title, photograph and concept factoids all on one page you have to view the book in portrait orientation.This book has a clickable Table of Contents.I can recommend this book because of the sheer number of factoids and the variety of photos.ETA to add multiple format information
