Review: Deserves the classic tag - What a long book! I'd forgotten how long it is. I probably had much more reading stamina back when I read it as a teen. It's as rip-roaring a tale as it ever was. You can see the ocean, the ship, and the whalers in Melville's energetic writing. You don't get many books with this setting. The allusions to India and Indian things are a pleasant surprise for an Indian. So is the extent to which science, geography, mathematics, etc., had already advanced even so long ago as the 1850s, when this book was written. But the king is the story itself and the deep understanding of what obsession and vengeance feel like. And there's a vein of humour and wit that runs throughout the book, a pleasure in itself and a silver lining on the dark quest. I'm not sure how many people there are in the world who've read Moby Dick or will read it, given the size and the somewhat old English. But I feel a kindred spirit with them.
Review: Loved it - I wanted to write this book since I was getting a lot of reference from the movies turns out. It’s hard to understand, but it worth every penny ….loved it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Legendary Tale of Obsession and Adventure!
*by A***H on 28 February 2024*

Moby Dick isn't just a book; it's a seafaring saga that hooks you like a giant whale on a harpoon! Herman Melville weaves a maritime masterpiece that takes you aboard the Pequod with Captain Ahab on his relentless quest for the infamous white whale. The language is as vast as the ocean it describes, and yes, there are chapters about whales that might make you ponder life's mysteries, but the adventure is worth every wave of words. This book captures the spirit of the sea, the thrill of the hunt, and the complexities of obsession. So, if you're ready to set sail on a literary voyage, Moby Dick is your ticket to an epic oceanic adventure!
