Verklaringen
aulsmith : Skipping. Too much blubber.
rainpebble : puts my brain in a muddle no matter how many attempts I make to read it.
amanda4242: I read it and discovered that I could quite happily have gone through life without having read it.
sturlington : Read in college.
JalenV: Read twice for different classes (one definitely in college), chose it the second time because I remembered enough from dfiscussing it the first time I figured it would help the second. (Still wonder if that preacher who appeared early in the book gave the same sermon every Sunday.)
Aprill: I love Melville's writing.
ManWithAnAgenda : Read. Interesting.
MyFathersDragon: I liked the book in 5th grade, but when I tried rereading in 11th grade, I didn’t find it interesting enough to read it, perhaps because I had previously read it.

Verklaringen
tiddleyboom : Read it. Loved it.
.Monkey. : Read it. Disliked.
amanda4242: Read it twice and hated it twice.
JalenV: Had to read it for High School and hated it. I read The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo. Found her inserted characters and the magic interesting, still hated the Gatsby sections.
Aprill: Read it.
ahef1963: Read it; didn't really like it.
ManWithAnAgenda : Read it. Loved it.
MyFathersDragon: It was one of the classics to choose from to read in a high school class. I read lots of the choices, so I had options to choose from when it was time to write a book report.
