Yes, the metaphor is impossible to miss and the story itself is actually enjoyable.

On the other hand, did we need a 60 page digression on the color white? What about on how whales are taxinomically classified? About how whales are cleaned/gutted? About how whaling is a noble profession fit for kings?

The list goes on.
