bkostela 's review for:

Benito Cereno by Herman Melville
3.0

Terrible until about 25 pages in when the pirate story begins. I was about to give it one star until then when it improved greatly. I wouldn't give it higher than three stars though because it was extremely predictable due to the author's hints and details. Teachable if focusing on similes or foreshadowing and have motivated students who will look up difficult vocabulary and sailing references.
