The prose of the author is to eclipse sometimes good dynamic outbreaks, other times a little breadsticks moments but generally, the London texts well hold water. The author has worked his character Wolf Larsen, force of nature, self-taught, which grows nothing but strength, and exercises terribly in this enclosed area what a ship. The character of Van Weyden only serves to enforce the fascination with this brute force and contrast of very weak arguments ("Pope, how many division?"). For all questions or waived by London, the author provides only few answers. The wolf of the seas apart with his secret.
