tylerenee12 's review for:
Mrs. Chippy's Last Expedition
by Caroline Alexander
adventurous
funny
informative
inspiring
lighthearted
slow-paced
this book is insanely charming and so funny. the whole time I could picture the scenes and what Chippy was up to, and man I just love cats and boats
the only thing is it gets a bit repetitive, since the journal mostly takes place when the exhibition was at a standstill in the ice. there wasn’t much pushing the book forward, so it was a bit difficult to fully get through. but I still think it’s worth a read it’s so silly
this isn’t a spoiler I’d say cause it happened in real life and this part isn’t even in the book but reading other reviews I just found out that the captain orders to shoot all the animals from the ship?? so Chippy got fucking shot dead?? it would be absolutely insane if that was written as a “journal entry” in this book but like,,, to end it like they all started on this walk back to land and it was happy ever after and in real life they KILLED him?? I was about to go to sleep but idk if I can after that,,,
anyway it’s a very fun book! just pretend you didn’t know that he got shot I guess 😭
