Negative Positive
Title: Seriously over rated.
Review: Man, lots of the reviews on here are pretentious, talking about all sorts of hidden messages of the book that don't exist. Herman Melville was a whaler, and wrote a very long and boring book about whaling. Seriously, this book is not an adventure. It is 540somepages of boring whaling details. I don't think half the chapters (there are about 100 some chapters, most about 2-20 pages long) are necessary to the story of the book, but are just filler about whales and whaling because the story is lame. I suppose perhaps not much happens at sea from day to day.This book is over rated, and shouldn't be as well regarded as it is. Read something fun like Dostoevsky instead.
Is the review positive or negative?
