I’m only 164 pages into the book and I feel the same way as many others. What a tedious slog this book is. Melville goes on an on with descriptions that do not advance the plot one iota. There’s no drama, only the musings of a man who must have loved the sound of his own voice—at least the one in his head. I’m determined to get through it, but know it’s going to be a wholly unsatisfying read!
