Title: Interesting for both genders.
Review: "The Journal Of Brian Doyle: Greenhorn on an Alaskan Whaling Ship The, Florence, 1874" is a book I'm sure boys will love (not to say girls won't!). I'm not familiar with the history of whaling, so I was very interested in what this book had to offer. It's amazing that such a young boy could be thrust into the brash world, and yet be compassionate to the people around him and have sympathy for the slaughtered whales. I did become confused with the characters since there were so many men on the ship. If you're looking for a different type of historical fiction that doesn't involve wars, then I suggest you give this book a try. I recommend.
