His writing style here reminds me a bit of Hemmingway's, where his sentences are very detail oriented and less... poetic maybe? (I'm not really sure how to describe it, if someone else knows what I'm trying to say and can explain it better, I'd be interested in your thoughts). But unlike Hemmingway, who's sentences tend to be short, simple, and to the point, Melville's tend to be longer and complicated, broken up at multiple points by comma's and semi colons.
I've been trying to make it a goal of mine to pay more attention to different author's writing styles and how they are used and this book is kind of forcing me to do it. I good exercise I think.
