About this listen

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.

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.

Do I not like book? or is the narrator?
