Review: The North Water

The North Water The North Water by Ian McGuire
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

If it was possible, I would give this book another 3/4 of a star. It is dark. Very dark. The story of a surgeon who signs on board an English whaling ship and survives its sinking is really well told. But the author does not spare the reader the gruesome details of life. I shudder to think about the movie they are very likely to make from it. Pain and gore and the darkness of men.
