I... I've had different thoughts on Moby Dick. I've never read it, not caring much for long books which go into a lot of detail on sea life. And reading your view I am now certain I will be very unlikely to pick up the book...and at the same time I am now wondering even more if I should. <br /> The general story isn't one I would care for. Men talking about whales and sea life. Yet, the things behind the story do sound interesting and the things one might learn have got my interest.<br /><br /> And on that note I will add....THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE KILLED ISHMAEL IN THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN! He was cool in that movie. Though they did stick him with Captain Nemo instead of Ahab. Maybe it is because Ahab was already dead...<br /><br /> Anyhow, even though I have differing thoughts on the book I enjoyed your review a lot and believe I can better understand the story now.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04395502314886308773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111892212177038047.post-50687447274115873202013-03-10T22:41:37.889-07:002013-03-10T22:41:37.889-07:00Jack says she will comment later on the book but s... Jack says she will comment later on the book but since I have the computer now I will say...I'm glad I'm a hedgehog and not a whale. I don't think I like water enough...and I'm glad Jack is an author and not a sailor person. I don't want to be always on a ship I think, it would be wet and up and down and tossing all over. And fishy....<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111892212177038047.post-28609554205588833782013-03-09T13:09:22.542-08:002013-03-09T13:09:22.542-08:00I am very glad I read my friend's abridged chi...I am very glad I read my friend's abridged children's story version of this book, because I really don't care for this style of book that doesn't have much propellation (is that a word) in its plot. Still, I am glad that you enjoyed it quite a bit!Jessica Hammondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485490204364670180noreply@blogger.com
