In The Heart Of The Sea Book Review. It would have earned melville's admiration. This book is more than a journal of whaling and whalers, it is a chronology of whale facts, of ships, and of the men who sailed and lived whaling.
In the heart of the sea: It will not be my last. The cinematography is interesting, the actors hit their marks, the sound is.
In the heart of the sea is a nonfiction work.
Philbrick interweaves his account of this extraordinary ordeal of ordinary men with a wealth of whale lore and with a brilliantly detailed portrait of the lost, unique community of nantucket whalers. Each a stage of an emotional journey. Its words will make you feel strong, and it will remind you of your worth and that you are important and valid to this world. But the script, by charles leavitt, is dead in the water, and the drama is too, despite billowing.
