“As one might expect from an audiobook where a different person reads every chapter, some readers do a better than others. A few stumble over some of the words, and I am surprised how many mispronounce forecastle (it's always dangerous to assume an English word is pronounced how it looks). So far there has only been one truly horrendous chapter by some guy who seemed to think that we'd rather listen to his experimental music than Melville's prose (we wouldn't). Most are quite well done and some of the readers are both well-known and surprising. I certainly didn't expect Benedict Cumberbatch, and John Waters even less. If you've always wanted to read "Moby Dick," but couldn't get into this, this might be the answer.”
