Not Forgetting the Whale

Not Forgetting the WhaleNot Forgetting the Whale by J.W. Ironmonger
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an interesting tale, light on what I assumed it would lead with, and surprisingly strong in other areas. Human nature is nicely addressed in a way that both surprises and doesn't at the same time - considering the overall theme of the story. It was almost a coming of age novel, regardless of the hero's age, personal growth being achieved was the message I received. A good read, a page turner, and one of those lovely books that I finish with a satisfied sigh.

The author's endnotes were a pleasant surprise, gaving some useful insight into the book's creation and direction.
