The North Water - Ian MGuire

I've finished reading The North Water by Ian McGuire.

This novel came on my radar due to the TV adaptation; I haven't watched it myself yet, but the trailer looked interesting. Since it'll be a while before it'll be out on disc, I decided to take a look at the book. It's about a whaling expedition that goes horribly wrong, leaving its crew stranded in the arctic.

This seemed like it'd be right up my alley, but I honestly didn't like it at all.
