It's so funny you mentioned this, because I remember browsing a bookstore and seeing the Uplift Series and reading the backs of the books to get a better sense of what it was about and I thought the concept was rather good and I was almost going to buy into the series...until I saw the dolphins on the cover.

Dolphins. I mean seriously?? I don't care how good a book is...I refuse to read a book that has dolphins as characters. I don't care how smart they are...I just can't do it.
