Good story. The updating is mild. When originally written, commercial whaling hadn't been banned. I thought that this would be a problem in the book, and was surprised to see the whaling incident retained. So I read up on it. It seems that although there's a "commercial" ban, whales are still being hunted in the Atlantic.
