In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex by Nathaniel Philbrick
challenging

sad
tense
medium-paced
5.0
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.
Graphic: Body horror
Moderate: Gore, Murder, Injury/Injury detail, Eating disorder, Death, and Racism
