It's not often you read a full novel from the viewpoint of an orca. The book is basically divided up into 3 parts. The first third deals with the main character traveling with his family, and describing the life of a whale, leading up to the point where he first comes into contact with humans. The second half deal with his interactions with various humans, and the consequences of this. This is where the book starts to drag, and where it gets super preachy. I won't lie; I almost quit at this part. The third part deals with how the main character & what he wants to do to humans due to the consequences he suffered earlier. Unfortunately the beginning of the book gives away the end, so it didn't come as a complete surprise. Not a book I'm going to reread, but I'd definitely recommend people reading it at least once. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Quite simply the best book about a whale since Moby Dick. The Idiot Gods is an epic tale told by an orca. David Zindell returns to the grand themes of Neverness in this uniquely moving book. An epic tale of a quest for a new way of life on earth, told by an orca. When Arjuna of the Blue Aria Family encounters three signs of cataclysm, he leaves his home in the Arctic Ocean to seek out the Idiot Gods and ask us why we are destroying the world. But the whales' ancient Song of Life is beyond our understanding, and we know nothing of the Great Covenant between our kinds. Arjuna is captured, starved, tortured and made to do tricks in a tiny pool at Sea Circus. His love for a human linguist gives him hope, even as he despairs that other people twist his words and continue the worldwide slaughter. As the whales' beloved Ocean turns toward the Blood Solstice the fate of humanity hangs in the balance: for if Arjuna gains the Voice of Death he could destroy mankind. But if understanding can prevail, he may, through the whales' mysterious power of quenging, create a new Song of Life and enable human evolution to unfold.
