Having always been a fan of "Moby Dick", and living near some of the areas portrayed in this novel, I was very interested in reading this book. I'd have to say for the first half I could not put it down - I could picture Nantucket and New Bedford as the author described them during that time period, and I enjoyed that. I sort of lost interest towards the end - it was a good book, but not a great one.
