"What the hell am I reading" is how I could sum up my review of this "love story fiction" involving foxes and otters. If I get everything and trust me you have to follow! Writing is terrible, anyone who picks a random page will agree; it all looks like the author is a 12 years old who might have read some comic, but never read a single book. On the story... I don't know what to say. It's just superficial, boring, and uninspired at a point I feel bad for the author. After a few pages, if you keep reading it; I have to salute the effort. So I'm gonna develop : It's like a quick made comic, where you don't have any picture. I think the goal was to really count on the person's imagination but without an effort on the writing, scenes that makes you go "what". I can't really find anything positive, skipping entire blocks of line and dialogs like "Hey!" and "Samki grinned". There's no action, no suspense or nothing developed about the characters. It's so empty at a point it's hilarous. Especially for sentences like "It's hard not having enough computer time!" you know the author just wrote a book from a mashup of online conversation with his facebook friends. The cover is funny, that's the only thing which save this book. It also sums it up in one single picture.

This book is one of the greatest coming of age/ love story’s I have ever read. The author (Kyell Gold) did an excellent job putting the feelings and emotions of the characters across. Memorable scenes throughout, which range from sheer happiness to dire anguish and isolation were written amazingly offering some absolutely beautiful moments that would cause me to have tears of joy. This book will make you feel the pain Kory (otter) feels and will leave you wishing you could just be there to comfort and help him as he struggles through the waterways of troubles ahead of him towards the ocean that is life. I highly recommend this book as a great read and a story that will stay with you in your heart for a long time to come.

I found this book after reading many short stories by Kyell Gold in the Heat magazines, and as I am in high school, I figured I would give it a try. I soon found that I was facing many of the same struggles that Kory and Malaya had both faced, and related very closely to Samaki and Kory's personalities. I've never really read a book that has made me shed tears, but reading this book has just... Helped me so much through these difficult times, and helped me draw a new view of life.
