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.
You haven't read it. It's sad your religious extremism deprives you of appreciating fine literature.
