Title: Entertaining, gripping narrative
Review: This true story of the whaleship Essex caught and held my attention as I read through it as quickly as I could. Even though non-fiction, it reads like an adventurous novel---a much better read than Moby Dick.The author includes the historical context and taps several sources to provide details about the tragedy, as well as the whaling industry.I think this book has what it takes to appeal to all readers. It is insightful, reavealing, entertaining and suspenseful while being entirely unique.My wife and I both read it within a week and highly recommend it.
