Title: Great use of your imagination
Review: I read the unabriged 600-page version. This book is awesome, but I recomend that you get the abridged version if reading is just an extra end-of-the-day-right-before-I-pass-out-from-exhaustion activity. I gave it four stars because, while the style of the writing is unique and very interesting, and the storyline is the cooooolest, there were times when I felt my mind beginning to wander. There were a couple of times where I just had to put the book down and go do something else. I think it was because this book was written in the mid 1800s, and the way they spoke back then was just odd, with all the "Ye land lubbers" and "Avast ye maties." If you despise the old English way of speaking that is used by the Nantucketers (there are thousands of them in this book, they're everywhere) then I suggest you read the Cliffs Notes and get the jist.
