Helpful Score: 5
This is more a non-classic Melville book in that it digresses and assaults the reader with nautical terms. Simmons goes so far into descriptions of helms and sterns that you lose sight of the actual monster. The plot could have been substantially expediated if the characters would have stopped "reflecting" every hour or so.
