Book Review of Why Read Moby-Dick?

Why Read Moby-Dick?
reviewed on + 78 more book reviews


One man's love letter to his favorite Great American Novel. Nathaniel Philbrick claims Melville as his inspiration and influence for "In the Heart of the Sea" and his other award-winning novels. A short book or a very long book review, in either case, highly illuminating and thought-provoking. 4 or maybe even 5 stars.
