Critical Reception[]

Michael Causey, writing for the Washington Independent Review of Books, found the book to be an effective way to communicate the logistics of shipping, but found the final quarter of the book to be flawed. Dwight Garner, writing for the New York Times, found the book to be "consistently absorbing".[3][1]
