From Goodreads:
A rich,
complex, highly symbolic narrative that explores the deepest reaches of our
moral and metaphysical dilemma through the extraordinary tale of Captain Ahab's
insane quest for the great white whale. One of America's greatest novels.
Ok, anyone not living under a rock, in a cave or
with monks on a mountain top knows this is a book about a guy hunting the whale
who took his leg. Or what I consider obsession. One man’s obsession to be
precise and how he got himself and a bunch of guys killed because of it. Because
he couldn’t take Elsa’s advice and let it go.
I’ll be the first to admit I couldn’t even read
the novel. It bored me to tears when I tried. I ended up listening to the audio
instead. Anyway, this graphic novel breaks that big ass book down quite nicely.
The artwork is not my cup of tea, but it looks kinda old-timey as does the
lettering. All-in-all not a bad adaptation.
Might be the kind of Moby Dick book I could read. :) I actually have a really really old version of the book and it just sits real pretty on my shelf cause I tried to read it and like you I got bored...lol.
ReplyDeleteI just couldn't read it. I had the same problem with Lord of the Rings, but the audios worked much better for me. But yeah, the graphic novel does a great job of squishing it all down. LOL
