My wife feels the same about the book as you, Harry, except she didn't enjoy anything about it. Me, I've read it three times and looking forward to reading it again. The novel works on so many levels, and I loved learning the intracacies of mid-nineteenth century whaling. I found it fascinating.Beautiful knife my friend . As far as the book goes : I had to force myself to finish the reading of it . Too much meandering information for me in between an otherwise outstanding story that I did enjoy .

But I also understand having to force yourself to finish a book. Tried three times with "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance." Got 3/4 of the way through the last time. Not going to try again. (My wife loves that one, though!)
