Too bad he doesn't write as well as Melville. He's a hack. The concept is fine, but his attempt to glorify himself, plus his lack of literary ability, makes it a pile of shit.
The concept could have and should have been so much more.
And in one respect, he didn't write as an epic tale, but as a tell-all tale, whereas he would have been better off going epic, with Krackhead as Ahab. Krackhead killed people through his sloth, yet he continues to tarnish he who was a hero. Burn in hell Krackhead.
