The point is ‘Be Yourself’
A mess of a book. At times entertaining, and at times frustrating. There is probably an edit that could be 5 stars, but then it wouldn’t be Moby Dick. It’s a challenging read, and at times I drifted. Especially the infamous whaling chapters. A lot to digest though and I may revisit it again in the future and attempt to fully grasp it.
