   Is the Sea Wolf a good book?

   • The book slows down further around the second half, but the ending and the build-up to it was executed very well, which left me feeling melancholic and hopeful at once. Would recommend this to anyone who appreciates voyages and slow-burn books. The Sea Wolf, a classic originally published in 1904 by Jack London (1876-1916) at age 28.
