Erklärungen
Cecrow : Skip the whaling detail chapters if you must, but they build sympathy for the whale and add a strong dose of realism.

Erklärungen
Cecrow : Defending: the language is thick, but the mystery is solid and based on the Sherlock Holmes model.
merrystar : Not my favorite by this author, but still readable.
Diane-bpcb: Was not interested enough in the story to try to follow the complexity of it

Erklärungen
Cecrow: Couldn't manage it as a teen, but will definitely try again.
merrystar : I did finish this, but only because it was required reading for a course. It remains my least favorite Dickens.

Erklärungen
Diane-bpcb: Although I loved this book at first, owing to the dockside atmosphere and Proulx's use of hard consonants, I lost interest.

Erklärungen
merrystar : Required reading, or I doubt I'd have even started it.
cej1027 : Took three tries and the motivation of a better book if I'd just finish a chapter each day, but I made it through. I still think it's trash though.
waltzmn: Modern fiction. Bah. If you're going to assign a book in a literature class (which is the only reason I went near it), at least least let it be a book where you learn something from the unspoken background assumptions. This book is one of the reasons I prefer non-fiction. I freely admit that this is personal taste.
