Reviews

[Robert Green]

Helpful supplement if you want to tackle reading Moby Dick.

[Dayla · Rating 5 out of 5]

SparkNotes can be very helpful on getting one to focus on the structure of the tale.

[J Crossley · Rating 3 out of 5]

This booklet was helpful for me to solidify the story of Moby Dick in my mind. It goes through sections of chapters at a time, and then gives the ideas in those sections. There is an overview to the entire book, and it provides a section on major themes and quotations.
