  1. Shardul Rahul Utpat

    A bit slow to start, but once it picked up, I was hooked. The cultural insights are invaluable.

  2. Aakanksha Singh

    Interesting, but I felt like Melville was an unreliable narrator. Still worth reading.

  3. Harshit

    The writing style is a bit dense for modern readers, but the story itself is compelling.

  4. Sanskar Vyas

    A fascinating glimpse into a different culture, but Melville’s romanticized view felt a bit naive at times. Still, a good read.

  5. Siddarth Rana

    I enjoyed the adventure, but the pacing was slow in parts. The descriptions were vivid, though!

  6. Yengkhom Maleshwori Devi

    Fantastic book! I could not put it down. So much adventure and intrigue. Highly recommend!

  7. Yash Koshal

    Found it a bit repetitive, but overall an engaging look at Polynesian life. Some dated perspectives.

  13. Sarthak Rajendra Shimbre

    A true classic! Captivating from beginning to end. Melville’s best, in my opinion.

  14. Ayush Denzil Tirkey

    While interesting, some of the descriptions felt overly romanticized and not entirely accurate.

  15. K Sagar

    I struggled with the old-fashioned language, but the story was ultimately rewarding.

  16. Prachi Charde

    A beautifully written adventure story with a touch of anthropological insight.
