I thought In the Heart of the Sea to be a very worthwhile read. Not only is the Essex story truly fascinating in its own right, Philbrick's narrative is both approachable and fluid. Philbrick neither overwhelms with detail nor loses the story in his journalistic approach. However, I read and found myself wanting more. Maybe it was all the references to Melville's legendary Moby-Dick that made me crave a long-winded tangent or two. That aside, Philbrick's attention to detail is nothing to be sneered at. The sheer volume of information compiled within Heart makes its shortness all the more incredible. From the stolid Quakerism of Nantucketers to whale attacks following the Essex disaster, In the Heart of the Sea covers a wide range of material. However, it is obvious that the Essex story itself, though famous, is not as complete as it appears within Heart. In my opinion, Philbrick has taken significant and necessary liberties in fleshing out the story to enhance its appeal to readers today. In the words of The New York Times, Heart is a "thriller" because it gives dimension to the accounts of Pollard, Lawrence, and Chase. Overall, great read and fabulous narrative.
