Moby-Dick: Or, the Whale by Herman Melville
4.0
After a long talk with the comrades I call my classmates, I have been convinced that Moby Dick deserves at least four stars on Goodreads.
The main issue that I have with the novel is the filler. I can't seem to let that go. Although the plot is solid, I believe that some parts are better than others, and things that don't necessarily tie back to the plot are somewhat loose.
What I do appreciate is the book as a whole and the overall idea that chasing something through blind faith fails in comparison to actual knowledge. Ishmael is blessed with the opportunity of life that the Rachel has given him. May Ishmael bask in the life that he is granted, not in the obsessions lost forever in the vastness of the sea.
