Summary:It is a whale of a book. It is so good I can't describe how good it was. A bunch of people go down in a submarine for diving and that. The movie is a little better than the book because in the movie a giant squid attacks them. Maybe if you read the book you can go see the movie and compare them. If the movie is still out yet.
Likes:I liked the book because it was an amazing under sea adventure of sharks and cool whales to imagine.
Dislikes:I didn't like how there was no giant squid.
