magnificent and profoundly haunting. Gripping and so sad

As an avid listener of audio books (particularly Libravox) I have been remiss in virtually never reviewing (pure laziness and I apologize) but the ending of this book is magnificent! For Victor Hugo, it is not verbose but understated and all the more powerful for that. A rare gem.

Oh, man. This book was so good. So beautifully written. So skillfully read. I will be thinking back on this story for years to come.

I loved all the detailed description of ocean life. A rather fantastic story and I didn't like the ending. A lot of suspense.

A story of one man and his titanic struggle to achieve an almost impossible task for the love of a woman. A powerful reading by the narrator.
