- ahef1963: A weird tale, verging on if not actually horror, but certainly worth reading.

- ahef1963 : Honestly, it's great for light reading, but it's not well-written.

- Explications
- ahef1963 : This is probably just me, but as I don't know port from starboard, I felt dreadfully lost in a book that is constantly needing the reader to know where the characters are on the ship!
