Moby Dick |
|---|
By: Herman Melville (1819-1891)Few things, even in literature, can really be said to be unique — but Moby Dick is truly unlike anything written before or since. The novel is nominally about the obsessive hunt by the crazed Captain Ahab of the book’s eponymous white whale. But interspersed in that story are digressions, paradoxes, philosophical riffs on whaling and life, and a display of techniques so advanced for its time that some have referred to the 1851 Moby Dick as the first “modern” novel. |

Reviewer: Maja - May 6, 2013 Subject: Well done! Best regards from Slovakia! |

Reviewer: LJB - May 2, 2013 Subject: Excellent Fantastic read, fantastic novel. At first I was a bit worried because I'm very picky about voices (especially for a long read like this) but Mr. Willis did a great job and really put a lot of thought and character into it. Loved it. Amazing that it's free. |

Reviewer: Ellen - April 16, 2013 Subject: Well read I enjoyed Mr. Wills' reading very much, humorous when the text was, poetic when Melville meant it to be and even the -for me - duller chapters were pleasant to listen to. thank you Mr. Wills. |

Reviewer: Meditatia - March 24, 2013 I enjoyed this reading immensely. I read the novel several years ago and needed to review it for a class this week, so I listened to this audio version--it perfectly conveys the alternating intensity, drama, and hilarity of reading the novel... even the bland bits (because, let's face it, this is Moby Dick) are read carefully, sincerely, and very, very well. If you are reading this, Mr. Wills... great job on Melville, and PLEASE tackle Victor Hugo next! |

Reviewer: bookworm - March 13, 2013 The ultimate reading which comes along with synchronized, clear text. |
Reviewer: LJ - January 20, 2013Subject: fantastic reding Always wanted to read this book but could not sit still to do so. However with the wonderful voiced characters the reader creates, a set of headphones and long country roads listening and walking this book has been a wonderful adventure. |

Reviewer: Alex - January 17, 2013 What? Stewart Wills is AMAZING. He has done such a great and humorous job with the reading and characterization. Does anyone know anything more about Mr. Wills aside from his being the narrator of Moby Dick? |
Reviewer: MKH - January 14, 2013Subject: Disappointing Narrator I really tried to get through this, but the guy who narrates is quite possibly the most boring person I've ever heard. I wanted to listen to the book, not get put to sleep by it. |
