Whalesong (ISBN 0891072195)

Whales are people too!:
None of the reviews do these books justice. The first book, Whalesong, is a very good book. The next 2 books get better and better. But you really need to read Whalesong before going on the others. Yes, 'saving the whales' is an obvious theme, and for good reason! Maybe if more people thought about what we are doing to the planet from the whales' point of view, they would change. But, that is not really what this trilogy is about. These books are about the spiritual journey, about visionquests, about life and death. Each book in the trilogy gets better. Start with Whalesong and by the time you finish Ice you will not be the same. Allow this beautiful, spiritually uplifting tale to inspire and transform you! Very consciousness-raising, and by that I mean spiritually. Also poetically written. You'll shed some tears, but you will feel enriched. What if...just what if...it's true??? What if whales really do have a culture as emotionally and spiritually rich as our own? You think that sounds far-fetched? You won't after you read these wonderful books.

Moving, Poetic, Profound:
I have read this book several times, as a young adult, an adult, and a parent reading to children. Loved it every time. The story is captivating as story, but Siegel is also a gifted poet and the language is as beautiful as the tale it tells.

Whalesong:
I think this book was alright. it wasn't the best book that i have ever read. it was only good when somebody died. i wanted Hruna to die just to get some ction in the story. i would recommend this book only to people that like emotional stories because a loit of people would cry but i didn't.

Whalesong:
A very unsuspensful book. I didn't like how the whales knew so much and at the same time didn't ex: they knew what ice was and didn't know what a boat was. I also didn't like how the author made imagery and you didn't know what the object was that he was talking about. I also didn't like the story and the plot. You could also tell what was going to happen next. The book was about a calf who has many adventures, then he gets older and leads the pod.

An Awsome Book for readers of all ages to enjoy:
Whalesong by Robert Siegel is a great book to read, not only for children, but for adults as well. The story is about the life of a humpback whale starting from when he is a calf and shows him growing to be a full and very large humpback whale as an adult. We read his life story and the adventures that he goes on as he is growing up and introduces us to all sorts of marine life that he meets along his adventures. All in all this book is about eleven chapters long, all the chapters are great to read and get you to wonder what happens in the next chapter. I highley recommend this book for all readers of all ages.
