Julie Q. reviewed Revenge of the Whale: The True Story of the Whaleship Essex (Boston Globe-Horn Book Honors (Awards)) on + 15 more book reviews
I read the Full version of this book, "In the Heart of the Sea" and it was a fascinating account of the whaling industry on Nantucket and life there, life on a whaling boat, and life in the 19th Century. Where Moby Dick ends is where the real story begins, and it is fascinating. This book is well written and was a pleasure to read. I highly recommend this story.
