Is a description of the obsessive Captain Ahab's relentless search for the malevolent white whale that took his leg? I originally read this book for high school English class. I wasn't impressed then. I can't say I'm much more impressed with it now. However, I do enjoy attending the Big Book discussions every summer. Participating in the discussions somewhat increased my opinion of Melville's famous tale. And there were many parts of the book that I just didn't remember from reading it as a 16 year old. I can't help thinking Mrs. Maupin would be proud of me for reading it again.
