A review by nolan00
Moby-Dick by Herman Melville

3.0

The foreword by Nathaniel Philbrick truly hyped this novel up, though I hate to say it fell flat for myself. Endless writings about various whaling techniques and a story that could've been written in four-hundred fewer pages made the reading experience fall short. It was intellectually very interesting, but that can only take a novel so far. I'm rating 3/5 stars only because of the value it holds in the study of American Literature, especially amongst fans of the maritime.
