This book is monotonous. It has many chapters that talk about whaling and whaling related things but do not add anything to the actual plot and I have a strong suspicion that many parts of the book could be removed without affecting the story. I mean what the heck do I care about incorrect representations of whales in different media? This book reads more like a whaling guide than an actual story at this point.

The writing is extremely exaggerated in the best possible way. There are so many metaphors, Similes, and analogies and I am barely starting the book. Also there are many clever references that are sprinkled in the text. Cannot wait to see where the story takes off to
