The North Water

One sentence synopsis... A propulsive journey across the north water on a whaling expedition follows a disgraced Irish surgeon, a psychopathic harpooner, amongst a cast of violent, unfortunate men.

Read it if you like... ‘The Terror' or ‘Godless'.

Dream casting... unfortunately this was a case of knowing who was cast in the show before reading the book. As a result I could only picture Colin Farrell as Drax and Jack O'Connell as Sumner. That being said, I'm not mad.
