Novel
I haven't heard many good things from students about the book. To be honest, I first watched the movie and then read the book. I didn't enjoy the book much at all my first time through. I appreciated the novel much more on my second reading. I think it was because I looked at it from a mystical pooint of view. I also saw the humor in it much more. What aspects of the book did you most dislike? Or if you did like the book, what did you enjoy?

Honestly, I didn't like either the book OR the movie. To me, the book was boring because lots of things happened slowly. I actually somehow found a way to tune out while I was reading. Also, the book wasn't the type of book I'd pick up in the first place. The book was also quite short and there wasn't much action or suspense to make it more interesting. What I did like about the book was that it seemed colorful in parts- like in description and creating pictures in the mind for what seemed like cut scenes with the whales and underwater scenes.
