A review by keenmf
Moby-Dick: Or, the Whale by Herman Melville
5.0
Re-reading this as an adult was one of the best decisions. This book is sweeping and exhausting. Exhilarating and dull. I felt every kind of emotion while reading this and yearn desperately to apologize to my sophomore year high school English teacher.
More than a classic, Moby Dick, like Steinbeck’s East of Eden, is a piece of history. Raw and obtuse and heartbreaking. A piece of America’s soul rests between these pages.
