buddhafish 's review for:

Moby Dick by Herman Melville
5.0

Finally. The heaviest book I have ever read for sure. Reading this is tough and definitely, in the middle, becomes a non-fiction book about whales and whaling itself. So much information. The way in which he relates everything back to myth and legends and history is remarkable - almost Sebald like. For that, Melville is a genius. It is an utterly monolithic novel.

And, the ending is one of the greatest I've ever read.

Again, with the word I love. But this is a masterpiece. Glad to have finally read it.
