abomine 's review for:
Whale Nation
by Heathcote Williams
emotional
reflective
sad
medium-paced
Yes, it gets a little preachy. Yes, it romanticizes whales in the hippie extreme. Yes, it's another one of those "the real monster is MAN" types of nature poetry...but damn, if I didn't enjoy every single second of it. I particularly recommend the audiobook, with its skillful reading by the author himself (along with two other talented performers), mixed with superb choices in classical music and of course Dr. Roger Payne's world-famous recording of Song of the Humpback Whale.
