Story3 out of 5 stars 4
Moby-Dick is widely considered to be the Great American Novel and a treasure of world literature. The story details the adventures of the wandering sailor Ishmael and his voyage on the whale ship Pequod, commanded by Captain Ahab. Ishmael soon learns that Ahab seeks one specific whale: Moby Dick, a ferocious, enigmatic white sperm whale. In a previous encounter, the whale destroyed Ahab's boat and bit off his leg. And Ahab intends to take revenge.

Do I not like book? or is the narrator?
Reviewed: 11-11-2014
I just don't know if it's the book I don't like or if it's the person reading it.
I have to keep rewinding the audio and listening to parts multiple times to understand what is happening and haven't advanced to the half way point yet.
I am willing to download the book narrated by a different narrator though to give it another chance.

Can't Get Past The First Couple Chapters
Reviewed: 11-11-2014
I usually enjoy Nora Roberts books in print, but I can't get past the first few chapters of this audio book.
I have to keep rewinding to go over the same parts so I know what is going on.
Can't say I care for the voices the narrator gives the characters.

Reviewed: 11-11-2014
I realise it is fiction but seriously? how extremely lucky were the Swiss Family Robinson to land on an island where they came across so many things they knew exactly what to do with to make so many things so very easily?
I couldn't suspend my disbelief enough to really get in to the story.
