4.0

The twist at the end made it worth the boring bits in the middle. Anthromorphosis done correctly.

The middle was a lull and felt repetitive - it really makes you feel lost out at sea. Whhile beautiful, the descriptions felt too lengthy at times. Although those encyclopedic definitions of animals served to develop the character's interest in zoology, were overused and did not serve to further the plot.
