“I absolutely loved the sections where I learned about whales and certain aspects about whaling. I did not expect, however, to be reading so much about the book Moby Dick and I felt like I was pushing through those bits to the parts I actually liked. It’s always incredible learning about whales because of the enormity of them. I would recommend this book just warn about the large sections about Moby Dick and the author.”
“not a fan but lots to talk about”
