Moby Dick has been criticized by many to be a book filled with adjectives and lacking substance, but I can assure, it has none of these qualities. This book is a great illustration of life in the whaling world during the early nineteenth century. Captain Ahab, a somewhat mad ole seaman, goes on a hunt chasing Moby Dick, or the white whale, the whale that had bit his leg and left him crippled. Ahab is thoroughly bent on destroying the whale, so now the question is, does he succced in destroying the enormous white whale? Well, read the book and learn by yourself :-0. I certainly am not going to reveal the end. But I do recommend you read it.
