The Whale: In Search of the Giants of the Sea by Philip Hoare
2.0
1) ENOUGH WITH MOBY DICK. WE GET IT. IT'S ANOTHER BOOK ABOUT WHALES. 2) i was hoping for a book about how cool whales are. this book goes into great detail about the tragedy of the relationship between humans and whales (spoiler: humans are terrible jerks). this book misses the mark on spending time revealing the coolest facts about these creatures. well, i wanted more at least. 3) the personal evolution and inclusion of the author's journey in the book underscores that whales are cooler than humans. less humans, more whales. more about whales. whales. whales. in conclusion, read about whales, but not from this book. 4) in spite of this i did learn some cool facts, but not 400 cool facts (which would be about 1 cool fact per page).
