Read from October 24 to 30, 2011
The semi-fictionalized retelling of a soldier in the American Revolutionary War, his capture, escape, and adventures, spending most of his life on English soil. Humorous at times, exciting at others, somewhat boring between the two; it was OK.
Do not read it if, like me, you're a slow reader and want to read Melville without having to mount his Dick. It's nowhere near as good as his other shorter pieces of fiction.
