I read this in Junior High (I think) and I thought being a dolphin would be really cool
and the hero of this book was the next best thing.
Oddly, I didn't notice that this was basically Tarzan but with dolphins rather than apes.
Its attitudes towards women is a problem. One character (a mathematician) is described as constantly being on the edge of being fired because she was so attractive that she was a distraction to the male employees. Crap like that is common in the book.
If you can get by that, it's an interesting adventure but I can't really recommend it.
