I honestly thought this was going to be a good book, but it was extremely underwhelming. The overall premise was not good, and there was constant reference to different whale species, that overshadowed the storyline.
you know those books that everyone and their mother is saying 'you got to read this, it's so good, it's a classic'? the ones that make you dig in your heels to try and avoid it? this is one of those. the reason things are considered classics might be because on the surface level they work but go deeper and it's about whatever you can make of it. hence my review title, it's a good book despite being called 'a classic'
I learned so much about the Spermiscelli Whale and Captain Ahab, the long lost hours alone on the decks of the Whaling Vessels. My daughter bought this book for me for my birthday August 6, 1953.
One of the greatest novels ever written. A story with more to tell than any review can do justice. Read, and become immersed in the hunt for the Great White Whale!
I love the cover so much and the quality for the price is amazing. The only thing I didn’t like was for some reason the top of the pages were orange. I still absolutely love it though :)
