"I read Susan Casey's book in a feeding frenzy, satisfying my
curiosity while fueling my fascination with sharks. A thoroughly
researched and well-written piece of literature that raises hairs
as well as tickling funny bones, THE DEVIL'S TEETH artfully reveals
what lurks in the shadows of the mysterious great white and the
people obsessed with them. The true triumph of the book, though, is
in Casey's transcendence of mere journalism--she's clearly embraced
by the world of which she writes." --Linda Greenlaw, Author of THE
HUNGRY OCEAN and ALL FISHERMEN ARE LIARS"A marvelous book--part
adventure, part meditation, part natural history -- that takes the
reader on a wild ride into a strange and seductive world. Casey is
the perfect diving companion; her account of life among San
Francisco's shark population is engaging, smart, and irresistible."
--Susan Orlean, author of "My Kind of Place" and "The Orchid
Thief"
"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 an
entrancing 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"
