Negative Positive
Title: This is a fascinating glimpse of the past.
Review: So many reviewers have done such a great job in their descriptions that I don't want to rehash the story again. Big whale, little ship, cannibalization, fascinating characters - all great elements to create a compelling story.This is not the typical genre that I gravitate toward, but I found myself unable to put this book down. The descriptions of the whaling society in Nantucket hooked me from page one - and the story just would not let go. I really don't care for gross out books, and to be honest if I had realized how much of that was in this novel, I would have passed it over. That would have been a mistake.
