"Call me Ishmael." Thus starts the greatest American novel. Melville said himself that he wanted to write "a mighty book about a mighty theme" and so he did. It is a story of one man's obsessive revenge-journey against the white whale, Moby-Dick, who injured him in an earlier meeting. Woven into the story of the last journey of The Pequod is a mesh of philosophy, rumination, religion, history, and a mass of information about whaling through the ages.

The narrator was brilliant. Able to cast a unique voice and timbre to each character.

It’s a classic for a reason.

What an odd American tale. I enjoyed the performance. I learned a lot about American whaling.

Worth hearing

It would be difficult for me to read this book, but listening to it was excellent. Well worth the time.

Fantastic

I listened to this book originally when I borrowed the audio version from my local library and I was pleased to find this version available on Audible. William Hootkins is the best narrator I've heard for an audiobook. I had to get this version again when I found it. Very enjoyable!
