Really hard to decide how I felt about this. There’s a natural pull for me when it comes to thrillers that involve the diving and whales, so I was very engaged by the plot… the author accomplished the suspense piece well. I wasn’t a fan of the swearing, or some of the fairly graphic injuries that were happening. The evolution of the MC’s relationship with his father evoked mixed feelings, but I think that’s how it’s supposed to be. They both had major character flaws and things they needed to work out in their relationship, and how they did that was very unexpected. Ultimately, weirdly interesting read. Very much a page-turner. Could be better on some fronts.
