georgiaswad 's review for:

Moby Dick by Herman Melville
3.0

it just took. so. long. to get through

yes the writing is fantastic, yes there’s lots to unpack (you would fucking hope so after nearly 700 pages) but i think i’m just not the audience. i adore melville’s short stories but this wasn’t the one for me. i think i’ll revisit in a decade or so and see if i have a greater appreciation for it but for now it’s going on the shelf
