Book Review of In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex

In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex
reviewed on


This is an amazing book filled with interesting facts about the Essex disaster. No detail is really spared regarding the sinking of the boat and the peril that the shipmen went through. This book will leave you questioning whether or not the whale meant to harm the ship or if it was purely an accidental hit. Regardless, the book will keep you riveted.
