It's ridiculously long, and there were times when I thought, "Okay, okay, enough cetology and whale skeletons." But it's so packed full of these brilliant little illustrative moments, like when Ishmael actually walks through the deified, decorated skeleton of a whale that he finds in a primitive tribe's* village, and then gets the dimensions of the skeleton tattooed on him so that he'll remember them. I just-- yowza. YOWza. So cool.
I thought, "Okay, okay, enough cetology and whale skeletons." Whereas I would be thinking, "More cetology and less people, plis." Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
characters who make each other sourly and bleakly unhappy (I don't mind fighting, but I prefer a happier ending)
oh, j. oh. that's all-- except, someone came up with the best sex pollen story ever, about how if patrick got all sexy pheremone-y, and everyone totally fell in love with him and acted creepy EXCEPT PETE BECAUSE PETE WAS ALREADY SO THERE.
ps: want to be an interviewee re: queer online for a thesis? *G*

And by that I mean yup, pretty much.
Ishmael is SUPER badass, though. I think you would like people just for him.
