Whale Talk Book Reviews
Whale Talk by Chris Crutcher Book Summary
“A truly exceptional book.”—Washington Post
There's bad news and good news about the Cutter High School swim team. The bad news is that they don't have a pool. The good news is that only one of them can swim anyway. Bestselling author Chris Crutcher’s controversial and acclaimed novel follows a group of outcasts as they take on inequality and injustice in their high school.
"Crutcher's superior gifts as a storyteller and his background as a working therapist combine to make magic in Whale Talk. The thread of truth in his fiction reminds us that heroes can come in any shape, color, ability or size, and friendship can bridge nearly any divide.”—Washington Post
T.J. Jones hates the blatant preferential treatment jocks receive at his high school, and the reverence paid to the varsity lettermen. When he sees a member of the wrestling team threatening an underclassman, T.J. decides he’s had enough. He recruits some of the biggest misfits at Cutter High to form a swim team. They may not have very much talent, but the All-Night Mermen prove to be way more than T.J. anticipated. As the unlikely athletes move closer to their goal, these new friends might learn that the journey is worth more than the reward. For fans of Andrew Smith and Marieke Nijkamp.
"Crutcher offers an unusual yet resonant mixture of black comedy and tragedy that lays bare the superficiality of the high-school scene. The book's shocking climax will force readers to re-examine their own values and may cause them to alter their perception of individuals pegged as 'losers.'"—Publishers Weekly

Great book. So far a great book, only have read a bit of the sample and love it so far. Chris just was at my High School (Thurston High School) and told us about his books and this was one he mentioned, definitely going to get full book.
Not what I expected. I thought it would be a audio book and it wasn’t
This book was amazing!!!!. This book shows the true face of racism, but it can be hilarious at the same time! This book has sad moments and 'I'm laughing so hard It hurts' moments. I recommend the book to everyone, but it does have mature language. All in all it's amazing
