I have not had this kind of disdain for a book in a long time. Don't pick this thing up unless you want to read hundreds of pages of excruciatingly boring whale cetology, with teeny-weeny little chapters every once in a while where something actually happens.

I know it's supposed to get good soon, but just a truly god-awful book right now as far I'm concerned.

YOU'RE NOT DON QUIXOTE MANE stick to the script!! another chapter on whale facts or side-stories and i'm blowin my brains out!! would've BEEN dnf'd if it weren't for Eliott, Callosum Books, and Cormac McCarthy.

story is picking up but my god what a fucking drag the last 50+ pages have been. just totally trivial details about the most uninteresting shit.
