Moby-Dick: Or, the Whale by Herman Melville

5.0

Fascinating story, varied. Starts out as a buddy mobie, then more of a whaling textbook, then night time itself. Denouement only on the last page, good tension and character development and construction. In between, the writer gives his opinion about philosophers, etc. Lots of symbolism. Often pompous and bombastic language, which makes it difficult to follow. Heavy ending. Read in 3 weeks.
