I like this book because it is a historic story and I like history books. It has a lot of action scenes when they are watching for whales it is kind of boring. But sometimes they tell you what they use tools for.
ReplyDeleteIs this anything like the story "Moby Dick"?

ReplyDeleteI really like the amount of suspense Nathaniel Philbrick puts in revenge of the whale.
