No plot, just vibes. I would have rated this even lower if it weren’t for the fact the book is kinda gay, and it has lots of info on whales. But a lot of the info is also about hunting whales :/

The author has put some nice ideas in the book, but he buried them under a pile of descriptive text, which did not have to be there in such quantities. The only positive thing was the great quality and elaboration of the audiobook I was listening to. I had to put that physical book away and it was unreadable. I finished a book, thanks of that audiobook. Overall, the book did not read me well and was sometimes lifeless and tedious to me.

I'm not going to be the person that's like 'classic book bad actually'. This book was very difficult to get into, but once I was settled I found it was enjoyable, albeit very slow. Gave up once I realised I was reading it for the sake of reading it, instead of reading it because I liked it
