Title: I wonder what wine goes with that?
Review: Like many other reviewers, I couldn't put this one down. This is a gripping tale of survival in the face of terrible circumstances, and also an interesting history lesson on the whaling port of Nantucket. I really felt sorry for the crew lost at sea in those tiny boats, dealing eventually with cannabalism, the very fate they sought to avoid by the Captain's poor navigational decision. As moved as I was by this particular crew's fate, I was even more moved by Philbrick's description of life on a whaling ship. How miserable! And doing that for two years at a time for miserable wages!! When I think my job sucks, I think of those poor sailors trying out a whale on the deck of that small ship in the dark, and I immediately feel better.
Is the review positive or negative?
