Book Reviews of Moby-Dick or, The Whale (Penguin Classics)
Book Review: Like choking down a week old doughnut
Summary: 2 Stars
I read classics now and then, but this one was disappointing. The storyline is very good, but Melville is wordy, and gets caught up in dull, 20 page digressions. (Ex. difference between a humpback and a narwhale). All in all, I'm glad I read it, but it was real work at times.
