Anyone read The Highest Tide?

It was just handed to me recently... rumored to feature sea life in the pacnorwest and archetuethis.

Any good?

I saw it last night, it was pretty interesting. Some fisherman caught it while fishing in the Antarctic. The fisherman took it to one of the museums in New Zealand. After doing some studying of it, they planned to put it on display.

One interesting thing they said about the squid, it's brain is shaped like a donught, and it's esophogus runs through the middle. If it eats something too big, it suffers brain damage. :dontknow:
