Captain Blood

Now a man without a country, he wreaks his revenge upon the Spanish Main as a buccaneer. The only thing that saves him from absolute dissolution is the love he still harbors for Miss Arabella Bishop.

Wonderful!

Wonderful classic. Eloquently written tale of swashbuckling written by Sabatini. BJ Harrison does a mesmerizing job of pulling the reader into a world where pirates behave like gentleman and action abounds. As he reads, you can picture it on a silver screen reminiscent of a bygone era.

Rather entertaining

This was a good story, not great. It felt like pirates of the Caribbean sort of. It was the kind of story where you know what's going to happen but it's still entertaining to listen to. The narration is great. I love the accents that guy does. He's pretty good at them. I'm glad I listened to this book.

Simple and satisfying read

Great narrator. The book itself is not deep material, a middle schooler could follow the story. It is however a satisfying tale of revenge, romance and piracy. A perfect audiobook to listen to while you do other simple tasks, without fear of missing details.

Excellent book and presentation

This book was amazing as well as the narration of it. Very well done! Thank you!

love this book!

this is such a wonderful story.
however, i don’t think i can listen to this particular narrator again. he pronounced “Cinco” wrong and it was maddening.

It never stops - the story always moves forward! The narrarator was incredible!!! He really did a great job!!

Have you listened to any of B. J. Harrison’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No but I plan on looking him up and getting more of his work. He is great!!!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

My favorite chapter is "Thief and Pirate". It moved me and was so well written

Any additional comments?

I highly recommend this book- should be a must read for all!!

WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!

Close on to the best book I've ever had the priviledge to read/hear! Fantastic characters, epic adventures, marvelous plot, no waste of space in the pages with dull chapters! Edge-of-your-set reading the whole time! I think I may have finally find an author to follow in Señore Sabatini!

Suggestion: A foreknowledge (slight or significant) of the Caribbean geography, ships ("port/lee/starboard" especially), weaponry, Spanish, Latin, and French makes the story so much the easier to enjoy....The reader would be rewarded if research is done ahead of and/or during the reading.

Regarding the naration: B.J. Harrison does a marvelous job, nearly the best narrator I've heard! He straight up NAILS the various accents and appropriates PERFECT voices for each character which remain distinct and unique throughout the story! Also, for an American (or so he sounded to be), he does a fair job with the Spanish pronunciation and an even better one with the French. I could hear him read my least favorite book and enjoy it simply because he's the reader! I've also found perhaps a narrator to follow!

Definitely keeps your attention, great narrator

This book was absolutely great! Need more like this. Kept my attention the whole book. Narrator was outstanding, will look for his name in more of the books I listen to. In my top TEN.
