- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not really my cup of tea. I love Moby Dick, i like Ireland and Ray Bradbury but this is more some kind of essay collection that doesn´t feature the origin of the Moby Dick screenplay as I hoped for.
My fault - didn´t read the description in detail ;) - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This is part recollection, part fiction. Bradbury weaves some Irish-themed (which you may have read in other collections) stories into a framework about the time he worked with John Huston to write the screenplay for "Moby DIck". Lots of time is spent in the country pub, and while Bradbury's prose often runs purple here as elsewhere, the pub really is the perfect setting. Your mileage may vary, but for a film nut and Bradbury fan, this is a double treat.
