Negative Positive
Title: A suggestion.
Review: This account of an epic adventure suffered from what I'd call `reportage'. As I read this exciting book I found myself longing for the enthralling descriptive power of Patrick O'Brian marvelous prose. So imagine my joy in discovering -The Unknown Shore- by O'Brian! The final part of that book is strikingly similar to - In the Heart of the Sea-. O'Brian's masterful capacity to evoke the verisimilitude of his sailor's plight wonderfully enhanced my memory the Essex book. I was so pleased!
