Listened to the audiobook this time around. I remember when I read it as a child I found it to be creepy and foreboding. And I still think it is this but also find the opening to be pretty boring and many conversations go way too long. Then I’m impressed that the story is delivered exclusively through journals, letters and logs, and how the action scenes are beautifully and evocatively described. And then think, “this is rather sexist” despite all the characters being endearing. It’s a mixed bag, and old, and I’m glad I revisited it.
