Moby Dick by Herman Melville

At the start of the reading challenge I read this book, Moby Dick by Herman Melville, and I find that it is a very interesting and good book to read.

Moby Dick is about a crew of sailors on a whaling ship led by a determined Captain Ahab, who is willing to risk everybody's life so that he could hunt the legendary White Whale, or Moby Dick, a dangerous and vicious creature and it loves to eat meat.

The crew sail around the world, the Cape of Horn, Cape of Good Hope and Japan and eventually they have to face Moby Dick. This book is not only about the crew's adventure but also about how their relationship began to grow. The tools and weapons of the whaling industry in the 19th century are vividly described and analysed in this amazing book.

Apart from these details, the characters are also very special and interesting. The narrator, Ismael, a man who is bored with his life on land, is willing to risk his life for an adventure in the deep oceans of the world. The story mainly bases around Captain Ahab, the captain of the whaling ship and crew, as he is very experienced and extremely determined to capture the White Whale. This is because his past crew was destroyed by this vicious whale. At first, he is a very cold, unforgiving man but as the adventure progresses, he becomes warmer and warmer and shares his adventures with the crew.

In conclusion, I think this is the best book about whaling as it describes the adventure very well. Apart from that, this is one of the best book I have ever read as it captures my mind and makes me feel that I am actually in an adventure.

I would recommend this book to everyone as it is very entertaining and good to read.
