Moby Dick by Herman Melville
4.0
adventurous challenging dark reflective slow-paced

Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This is a great book, but some passages were hard going with the narrator's reflections. It was great to have the Guide in the Listen with Audrey version. I love the plot though and think was really well put together if you don't mind wading through the philosophical mumblings and detailed descriptions of whales and whale hunting gear and procedures! 😂 A better title for the book would be "A Whaling Voyage" or "In Search of Moby Dick"...
