A review by imijen
The Whale at the End of the World by John Ironmonger

1.0

I feel like such a cynic for not enjoying this, but I just could not stomach the cheese, especially towards the end. Bah-humbug. Plus, Joe, the protagonist, was such an irritating Nice Guy™ (or "failed Romantic", as Ironmonger put it), hero-boy. Ugh. This was the right time of year to attempt this book, but I guess I wasn't the right kind of reader...
