My book club friends could not hang with the pace of this story. Admittedly, it started slow, with the point unclear and I was eager to get beyond Trotsky. Eventually found myself progressing slowly because I was not eager for the story to end. The main character grew to be someone I liked spending time with. This was one deep read. I read chapters in the evening, and listened on CD in my car. Highly recommended.

About halfway through this book, i regretted paying full price and then....when I finished, I read it again with better attention and appreciation.

I purchased this book to participate in a writing group. I was not happy to see how big it was. I was warned it had tedious whale trivia. I loved the writing from word one and enjoyed every page. I was in no hurry to get through it. A great read and a great story.

Great story told in an intriguing style. Author comments at the end are worthwhile also.

This book is well written and an easy read......until the conclusion. That was too disturbing.

Helpful Score: 3
This is not a "feel-good" story but it is told very well and the characters and plot unfold with subtleness. A good read.
