Leviathan: Or, The Whale by Philip Hoare
4.0
This is a great book. Full of interesting facts about whaling and whales with quotes from "Moby Dick" by Herman Melville.
Fortunately I had not read "Moby Dick" before reading this book. If I had I would have found the many references and analysis of the book tedious. To be honest there were places where I'd had enough of the quotes and wanted more about whales.
