5.0

This book completely exceeded my expectations. I thought I would just be getting an exciting, albeit unrealistic, story of a man being swallowed by a whale. Instead, this is a moving exploration of love, grief, family, and nature. Impressively written, hauntingly beautiful, and totally unique.
