Startide Rising

Brin's writing style is sort of maddening - I've never been fond of imperfect narrators - I don't mean omniscient, I mean narrators who are an integral part of the story who do “know” things, but don't “think” them where I can see them as a storytelling device to keep the suspense going longer).

Nevertheless, and despite the “main” story not being all that interesting to me, I'm fascinated by the world and backstory that he's created and want more.
