Review of In the Heart of the Sea (2015) by Trent G — 15 Nov 2016

Paradoxically, the action is more lumbering than the lulls between. Sometimes it's nearly involving enough that you could almost be there, but it never quite convinces. The characters just exist and the story simply happens, neither take over and sweep you away.

Not as dull as reviews say it is, but doesn't really bring the tale to life.
