An interesting read, though I felt some parts dragged on. Still, the historical context and the whale attack are vividly portrayed.

Philbrick brings the Essex tragedy to life. The research is impressive, but the sheer horror of the crew’s ordeal is hard to stomach. Prepare yourself.
Shreyash Kashyap –
A well-researched account but felt detached from the human element. I wish there was a deeper dive into the psychology of the survivors.

Found it a bit dry and academic. While the story itself is fascinating, the writing style wasn’t engaging enough for me. Expected more emotion.

A gripping tale of survival! Though a bit slow at times, the descriptions of the whale attack were intense. Worth reading if you like maritime history.

I had mixed feelings. While the historical detail was great, the writing style was a bit dull. Still, a worthwhile read about a tragic event.
Mohit Bansal –
This book haunted me for days after I finished it. The true story is far more terrifying than any fictional tale. Highly recommended, but be warned.
