I am still reading In The name of Ishmael..So far is so interesting and well written.
The author descriptions of the characters, their emotions and their everyday life tribulations is great.and brings the story to life.

The plot is very intriguing.

I bought my book at Amazon.com..I believe that I paid more for the postage.It is used..

Is this a travel book?

Well... the Pequod on which Ishmael took passage was a ship so there was travel involved in that respect. But the the cruise ended badly as I recall. ;^)

Travel is indeed involved in this book.
Sorry I posted it at the wrong Forum..Anyway is a well written book..

Okay, now that this thread is here and won't go away, if anyone is curious as I was about this book - it seems to be a thriller/murder mystery, and you can read a synopsis and review at
