Too short

It didn’t have the whole story it skipped around the book a lot but the performance was great.

it is not the book

The story generally followed Moby d*** but left out much of the detail that makes the book interesting

Creative Wring With Great Narration

I just loved it! What a tremendous cast of characters created by Melville and now modern day narration and music to make it come alive. Classics endure in part, due to there universal appeal to our common humanity and this one did not disappoint. The Scriptural and spiritual overtones and personification were outstanding.. A+

Review

A straight forward story
No surprises or anything
Won’t recommend it to anyone i know

Marvelous dramatization!

What a treat. I highly recommend it. It was a great way for me to get introduced to the book.
A wonderful cast of actors really brought the story to life.

Herky jerky Moby Dick.

Overly arty adaptation. Soundtrack sometimes obscuring dialogue, story line shifted from original with odd flashbacks, and some key plot points glossed over. Still, Abraham ‘s narration is satisfying. The tone of Melville ‘s classic comes across.

Good but I don't understand why I can't jump

I don't understand why I can't jump to any chapter I want to. it doesn't make any sense at all
