   I think Moby Dick is hugely overrated as a work of literature. The first couple of chapters (i.e. before they get on the boat) are hilarious, good as anything by Dickens or Scott. But after that it is just a drag with little tension, character development, or importance of ideas. The religious metaphors and literary illusions are strained. However the book does have some interesting descriptions of whaling and sailing vessels that can be insightful but reading a non-fiction book on whaling would be a better use of time. I have read some of Melville’s earlier, semi-autobiographical books, and while the language is nowhere near the quality of 19th century English Literature they at least have an interesting tale to tell. Why Moby Dick is taught in high school when there are so many better books by Hardy, Dickens, Scott, Austin, Shakespeare and others is a mystery to me.
