Title: A Major Disappoinment.
Product review: I read the original language edition, and must confess that it took some effort to finish it. After reading some reviews and a short excerpt, I decided to get the book. Too much nautical lingo; endlessly repeated literary images; a sudden, almost forced revelation of the identity of the narrator who could not have known the details of his own story; a not too credible plot (green lobsters?) are some of the book faults. If you are thinking about reading this book, drop it in favor of, for example, Martin Cruz Smith's "Polar Star" or "Havana Bay".
