This book was truly hideous!
Melville is talented, brilliant even; but chapter after chapter of whale massacre and dismemberment is just not my cup of tea.
Yes, the message is powerful. Yes, it is unforgettable.
But this book needs a warning: Not to be read by any old softies that believe animals have feelings.
