Whales don't have hands, but if they did they would look miniscule in comparison to the hamfistedness of Failwhale.

Whales don't have hands, but if they did they would look miniscule in comparison to the hamfistedness of Failwhale.
Not really what I expected given what I’ve read about it beforehand (ie. that is praises itself to be scientifically correct etc) but it ended up being a good read. I enjoyed it. The book is a 50/50 mix of family trauma and getting swallowed by a whale. The whale plot is kind of entertaining and so is the buildup of it. The family trauma is kind of flat to be honest, but the author manages to ties them together quite nicely.
