Rarely do I give up on a book, but I did give up on this one at about 300 pages in. I kept hoping it would pick up, but it did not interest me. Perhaps someone who enjoys tales of swashbuckling sailors at sea (Patrick O'brian anyone?) and murderous creatures (Stephen King fans?) would enjoy it, but I did not find any of the characters interesting enough to care what happened to them.

The book was well-written, but I found it difficult to suspend my disbelief long enough to be terrified by The Terror.
