Rabbit Reads

not the exact edition i have but the same pages and both abridged. I'm tired of searching for a 1949 edition I have.

Rating: 4.5, I struggled with rating this a 4 or a 5.

I really enjoyed reading this. Melville is very verbose, but his writing is very poetic. I wanted to frame a few paragraphs and hang them on my wall to adore.

I enjoyed the fishing parts, but some might find that boring and tedious.

I also came across a few moments of homosexual subtext, but enough for a glbt bookshelf.

If you are going to read this, get the abridged version.
