This is a pretty long book, and while I was occasionally charmed by the tangents about whales it would often go on I also often found myself wishing it would get on with it. At it's best, it's an extremely compelling story about the mad captain Ahab and his doomed voyage, at it's worst it feels like reading a dry encyclopedia
