Excellent Reader!
- While this isn't my first time both reading and listening to this book, it was my first time listening to Anthony Heald performing an Audiobook. He does an excellent job from start to finish and makes the characters and the story come alive. I can't say enough about this man's presentation of this timeless classic of a book. If you have the time to listen, it's quite a lengthy listen, you can't go wrong buying it. I look forward to more books read by Heald.

One of the Best Reads I have Ever Had
- Anthony Heald is probably one of the best readers I have heard at Downpour - and the text is wonderful! You think you know the story because you saw one of the many versions of this on television? You could not be more wrong! If you want to know about the whale and other sea mammals, try this text right now! A must read!

Author Bio: Herman Melville
Herman Melville (1819–1891) was born in New York City. Family hardships forced him to leave school for various occupations, including shipping as a cabin boy to Liverpool in 1839—a voyage that sparked his love for the sea. A shrewd social critic and philosopher in his fiction, he is considered an outstanding writer of the sea and a great stylist who mastered both realistic narrative and a rich, rhythmical prose. He is best known for his novel Moby-Dick and the posthumously published novella Billy Budd.
