Moby-Dick: or, The Whale

It's been nearly twenty years since I read Moby Dick so I really don't remember much. Just two main things, really.

1. The tattoo guy? Pretty freakin' cool.
2. Entire chapters of blah blah blah... I'm sorry, what where we talking about?

I'm pretty sure that if I had read some children's abridged version of Moby Dick, I would have enjoyed the storytelling a lot more. As it is, the story is derailed entirely by the insertion of essays throughout.

I will not be purchasing a copy to share with my children.
