In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex by Nathaniel Philbrick

adventurous challenging dark emotional informative sad tense medium-paced

3.5

This book is the true story of the the Whaleship Essex that the book Moby Dick was based upon.  The book was interesting to hear about the disastrous trip and what they all went through.  The book was way more interesting than Moby Dick!  I did find that the book was kind of dry at times and I found myself a little bored by it.  I did listen to the audio and I think that it might have kept my attention more if I was reading it, which is surprising because usually nonfiction books are one of my favorites on audio.
