Rating: Really liked it


Although the book, Billy Budd, is difficult to read, the amount of depth that is packed into it makes it a very worthwhile. Since I don't want to give out too much about the book, I will provide a background for it. The story is about a young British sailor, Billy, who is very loyal to his shipmates and captain. He is loved by many. However, he is also hated by many because they are jealous of him. Thus, the story is about his experiences and struggles with those around him. It is a very interesting book. However, I recommend reading it with a parent, teacher, or friend if you want to understand the deep meaning in it.
