5.0 out of 5 stars A very good book for historic purphoses, 6 Sep 1999
By A Customer
This is a good book if you are not reading to be entertained by a story, but if you want to understand what Melville is really talking about and get a lot more out of it then you ever thought possibly, true some parts are slow but if you look at what Melville is doing with the language and references it is really a very good and well-written book.
