Blue sky, green trees.
Es gefällt mir sehr, dass die Perspektive der Erzählung (3. Person) folgt nicht nur Grant sondern auch andere Charaktere. Gutes Buch, klassische "cozy mystery", unbedingt empfehlenswert .

Deadly boring. The most interesting thing was how in the first chapter the author goes on and on (and on) about how hugely fat, how morbidly obese, Mercy Goodwill is; you don't see much talk like that these days. I made it to 100 pages (3rd chapter) for the sake of my book club, but that's as far as I could force myself to read. Looking at the wiki entry for the book, it seems like I didn't miss a thing.

Fantastic read, although you have to be ready for it. See, it's not just about a whaling adventure, the book is about all sorts of things that happen around the adventure. It has chapters describing different types of whales, and different parts of whales, and chapters that have nothing to do with whales or hunting them but instead philosophize about this or that. The book is an adventure story, a history lesson, a natural history guide, with a healthy dose of exploration of the human mind and spirit. Be open to it all, and you'll have a great time with this book.
Note: Each chapter is only a handful of pages long, so everything is pretty short and snappy for such a long book.
