Only a bit about whales themselves, this book is more about whaling, Moby Dick, and Herman Melville. Hoare has a meandering style that won‘t work for everyone and he certainly doesn‘t shy away from describing the gore of butchering whales, but I like how he writes. I wanted a bit more about the whales themselves, but did still like this.
