The crew of the whaling ship the Pequod is bound by its Captain Ahab to a single, bloody goal: the killing of the whale Moby-Dick, the giant albino that has taken his leg and on which he has sworn vengeance. Driven, perhaps doomed, by his dangerous monomania, they sail in pursuit of the monster.

I gotta say that I was afraid of reading this book, because I have heard a lot of good about this book but I know that the more good I read about a book on the interest than the chances that the book is overhyped are very high. But after reading this book I gotta say that this book is okay. 

I need to admit that this book is much longer than I expected it to be. And after reading the entire book, I need to get a little bit honest here and say that at times this book drags for far too long. A lot of parts could have easily been removed and it would make this book so much better and shorter.

This book gives a lot of fun and in depth depiction of sea navigation and how it was like being a sailor back in 1820s and 1830s. But the aspect of whale hunting in this book made me really take away some points of this book. 

This book took awhile to read, because I needed to take some days long breaks from this book. Because a lot of parts of this book drags for too long and it kept making me uninterested but I wanted to finish this book. So when I was getting very close to DNF-ing this book I took some days long breaks before returning back to it. 

The writing style in this book was okay. I wasn’t taken back by it or anything like that. To be honest I am very neutral about the writing style in this book. I don’t have any strong feelings or thoughts about the writing style in this book. 

The characters in this book were okay to be honest. Im writing this review 2 days after I finished this book and I don’t remember any of the characters in this book. That’s because they weren’t memorable or very likable which would make me remember them. The characters in this book felt like different versions of the the same character which really didn’t help me with liking the characters in this book. 

I Give This Book 3 / 5
