2.0

deeply obnoxiously overwritten prose and a lot of pointless tangents, but somewhere beneath that is some interesting information about whales and the environment

Giggs encompasses the world of the whale in such a deeply poetic manner. Sharing facts and anecdotes not simply as stories but almost like a song, and piece of art. 
The perspectives and narratives were confronting, compelling and all the while beautiful. 
A stunning book.
