The Wave

"It’s a ******* crime that Walter Mosley isn’t more famous and widely read. This is my second Walter Mosley book and both were just absolutely unlike anything else I’ve ever read. They were both so down to earth while still being so imaginative and out of the box.<br/><br/>Gosh I’m just stewing because this short book was SO GOOD and I’d have never even heard of it if I hadn’t randomly picked it up at a used bookstore.<br/><br/>I’d have read this in one setting if I could have, but I had to force myself to go to sleep and I’m glad I did because it was great to come back to this story that held such big ideas and thought provoking concepts—with a fresh mind.<br/><br/>This synopsis holds such a tiny snippet of the massive ideas in this book and I don’t know at all how to describe the premise without giving anything away. Just know that if you’re intrigued by intelligent non human life forms and the way humans might respond to discovering another life form—you have to read this entirely unique take on this idea. Don’t try to get more info—go in and be drawn in and surprised.<br/><br/>The last thing I want to say about the premise of the book—because it’s something I always seek and so rarely find—I literally can’t write without giving crucial plot points away and so I won’t. So just read this and find out.<br/><br/>I’m so excited to have given two for two books by Walter Mosley five stars because he’s written SO MUCH! He’s a new favorite author and I’ve got so many options to keep reading from him!!!"

"Such a good book. Seriously give it a read. "

"I love geology,oceanography and physics so I found this book interesting. It's smooth reading since its written as an encounter. Reading about the authors travel to these beautiful islands and how she perceived waves and learned about them thought the eyes of a pro surfer was pretty cool."

"One of my favorite all time books, it tells about big wave surfers, the big crazy surf spots, anyone interested in the ocean or surfing will enjoy this, but its not just for surfers. "

"A story of adventure and reads really “smart” you feel like you’re learning and at the same time, hopping on planes to jettison to Fiji and Hawaii all with pro surfers trying to evade the limelight of pro surfing. Easy to pick up and keep journeying. "

"Great combination of human & nature & science. "
