Title: it gets old quickly
Review: I started reading this book expecting a story about a mad man hell bent on getting revenge on the famous white whale, Moby Dick. I did get this but I also got a very strong narrative which fascinated me at first but become annoying towards the end of the book.Due to this narrative the book has over 100 chapters and it is now safe to say that I am very knowledgeable of the whale fishery.I carried on reading this book because I loved the way it was written and in turn, the way that the book made me feel. It is very dark and gothic and I wasn't surprised at the many references to Coleridge's `Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner.'It's a book that I can say I have read but it was tough going and I wouldn't recommend it.
