Ok story. Excellent reader.

Good. In this genre I am very experienced. Holds up ok. Read well and moves along. The whole series is ok.

another good book in the classics series

it's about expectations you have to remember these books are 50 years old or older and it's the classical plot of good versus evil and not the modern anti-hero but the hero that makes good decisions and has good values and is not as flawed as a human being is some or his flaws are not as bad as others. The gender roles are also not a reflection of modern times. if you like it old fashioned sea story taking place during the Napoleonic wars you'll enjoy this. My father turned me on to this series when I was a young man along with horn blower, some other books like last Mohicans, Captain blood and the Three musketeers.
