I think the book outlined it's greatest flaw best: you cannot bring Moby Dick to a different medium without losing a fundamental part of it. I appreciate the approach (and am, as a fan of Pathologic 2, a lover of the meta approach of adding in the theater - a choice that Melville made himself), but find the execution lacking in some parts. Nonetheless, I am glad to be able to put some faces to the Pequod crew now for my second read of the book.
