Helpful Score: 1

This book was outstanding, to say the least. The movie was good but the literary tale of the Essex goes far beyond what the movie told. In reality, quite a bit happened to the crew after their encounter with the whale, which sunk their shift and forced them into the whale boats. The rest of their adventure is filled with hardship and difficult decisions.

I strongly recommend this book, esp. to those who have seen the movie and want to know "the rest of the story."
