Oh boy this was so gripping but not worth the emotional pain

I think it was perfectly written and the last paragraph about bones is INSANE 🔥

This isn’t the type of book I normally read, but I was greatly intrigued by it. This book was incredibly interesting, amazingly well written, and I’ve been thinking about it for months after reading it. There are lots of tangents in the book, but these tangents are in themselves interesting to hear about.

Excellent, we’ll researched tale of old Nantucket, whaling, the shipwreck that inspired Melville to write Moby Dick, and the sailors’ struggle to stay alive in tiny boats with little food or fresh water for months. The parts about killing and butcher the whales at Galapagos tortoises were a bit hard to take though
