Ann Petersen’s Reviews > Moby-Dick > Status Update

I’m about half way into the audiobook which I let play as a kind of white noise at this point every now and then skipping to The next chapter to see what is now actually happening. After the first 50 pages I thought oh maybe this will be good. Alas it is so boring. In chapter 55 or so the details of killing a whale actually seemed refreshingly on point, and then horrifying in their lack of emotional content.
