Review
"In delivering us to the Farallon Islands, and then into the souls of the magnificent Great White Sharks that populate its waters, Susan Casey has really delivered us into the DNA of our own beings. The Devil's Teeth is more than a shark story; it is an account of our instincts, our appetites, even our futures, all beautifully told by a writer compelled to know."-Robert Kurson, author of "Shadow Divers"
"'There's another world, and it's in this one, '" declares Susan Casey, reveling in the surreality of her days and nights spent among the world's coolest, cold-eyed customers, great white sharks. Who knew these beasts lived so close to San Francisco, within the pizza delivery zone of that fair city? Casey is a poet, a bare-knuckled spirit, unabashed and funny, and hers is anentrancing ride to a beautiful, forbidding place, a new world, close by. Hang on." -Doug Stanton, author of "In Harm's Way"
"Susan Casey could write about guppies, and I'd want to read her book. I devoured this book like a shark." -Mary Roach, author of "Stiff"
