I really enjoyed this book, though I understand the comments of some reviewers. The author is a professor of Literature and writing, not a scientist, so if you want an in-depth book on the latest whale knowledge, look elsewhere. If you want a book that has information on whales and whaling and culture and literature, then, this is your book

This is a fascinating look at the cult of Wilde and the trial that highlighted and inflamed his already outlandish reputation. Philip Hoare is a joy to read and the episode on which he focuses would be fascinating in the hands of even a lesser writer.
