This book review is a novel by Herman Melville. The novel, "Moby Dick", is about Captain Ahab and his crew of whale hunters looking for a white whale. The white whale called "Moby Dick". The story is narrated by Ishmael, a crew member for Captain Ahab, who describes the voyages around the world searching for Moby Dick. Ishmael explains that his captain lost his leg, last ship, and many of his prior crew from his last encounter with Moby Dick. The captain is obsessed with finding Moby Dick and exacting his revenge at all costs. They eventually find Moby Dick and have a three-day battle. The captain loses his life, his ship, and his entire crew except for Ishmael. Ishmael was the lone survivor to tell the tale.

I liked this story because it taught me a lot about the life of a whaler. It shows how dangerous whaling was at that time in history. Whaling and life on the sea is very much like the journey to space today. Both are very dangerous for their times and are isolated from everyone else. I rated this book four stars because it was a little hard to understand due to their pirate-like language. I would recommend this book to people who like to read about sea adventures and a classic tale of the problems with revenge. ( )

Is a book about Ishmael. He has no money so he left is home for New Bedford then went to Nantucket. He found Spouter Inn. He had to share a room with a harpooner. The harpooner was named Queequeg. They became friends and went to the ship Pequod. They got hired and set sail with Captain Ahab. They have to catch a white whale named Moby Dick. Moby Dick took off Ahab's leg. Later they find Moby Dick and chase it for awhile. In the end Captain Ahab dies by the rope he threw which pulled him into the water.
I kinda liked this book. It was fun to read. The funnest part was the chase. I really liked Queequeg. It was cool when he sold the shrunken heads. Sure this is a kids version but it is still good to read. I also thought it was funny when Tashtego fill into the whales blow hole. This is a good book that people should read. Also even though it is a kids version it is good. Also I read it because it was a laying around and I wanted read the famous Moby Dick. ( )
