infamousbraniac 's review for:

Moby Dick by Herman Melville
2.5

This should have been really good. Ishmael rolls in and is immediately like "I am suicidal and broke, so to the sea I must go!" which is such a promising start to a story! And if it had stayed that way, actually focused on Ishmael/Ahab/Moby Dick's story, I think I would have loved it more. But Herman Melville was for some reason bound and determined to make us all whaling experts which I do in fact not need in the 21st century. And frankly, I doubt most people needed it back then either.
