aileenginny 's review for:
The Voyage of the Narwhal
by Andrea Barrett
I wasn't very excited about the book in the beginning, because the main character was insufferable. But I figured that would give him lots of room to change--but he didn't change much. He had some good revelations at the very end, but otherwise was still a bit annoying. The story itself was very thoughtfully written and very interesting. The depiction of the exploration had an accurate feel--both with how the characters related to one another, and with the reality of sickness and injury (for the most part). I also enjoyed how the author changed voice several times, in order to depict what other characters (besides Erasmus) were thinking and feeling.
