This was a really good choice of a book to listen to. Not only is it about living the tropical island life but its about true friendship between a young boy and a dolphin. Toby has to live with his grandparents in the Bahamas due to his parents death. While on the hunt for friends, Toby meets a dolphin and they become the best of friends. He names his dolphin friend Phinney.
As Toby grows up he deals with many changes, tragedies and experiences achievements, all of which he ends up sharing with his best friend Phinney. Toby is forced to deal with horrible illnesses, loss, learning to make friends, furthering his education, learning to fly, and developing a relationship. As the years pass, no matter what happens, Toby always returns to the island and to his friend, Phinney.
We also get to hear the dolphins experiences from its point of view. I found this to be the most interesting part. She remains where she can see Toby, or Boy, as she calls him. She also eventually becomes a mother. She faces jealousy when she is introduced to Toby’s love and when Toby is gone for a time as a result of the war and life, she almost forgets him, but eventually, Phinney remembers her precious friend.
This is such a feel good story on lasting friendship and caring about others.

Like most people, before author Donato Alfredano gets caught up in the system, he's hardly given the issue of prison a thought. But his unanticipated arrest at JFK Airport on a charge of official misconduct was a reality check that would forever change his views on incarceration, and on a larger scale, life.

What I liked about this book is that it is a real story of someone who had first hand experience in the prison system. The author tells his personal story and experience from the time something went wrong, his journey to turn himself in and his entire walk through in the court and prison system. Knowing what people go through in the judicial system is important. I like how everything is spelled out for you. Its a great read for someone who has been in the system or someone who want to make a difference in it. I watch a lot of stories on tv about prison and one always wonders how true these stories are. I like this story from the authors point of view. What I also like is that he was able to turn some of his experiences into songs. He is correct in saying that the entire system is corrupt.
I received this book in exchange for an honest review
