Review of In the Heart of the Sea (2015) by Monica N — 18 Dec 2015

Good but not outstanding. However the Whaling scenes were very well done. The Japanese would soon give up whaling if they had to hunt using this ancient method. The giant White Whale was incredible. The story helped you to understand how important whale oil was in that era.

Also how many Whalers died during the hunt, it wasn't easy trying to bring a Sperm Whale in!
