Reseñas de la Crítica

"The best historical novels ever written." (The New York Times Book Review)

Ianother book in this great series

Patrick Tull makes this book great
Patrick Tull is one of his masterpiece performances. I have read all 22 of his books (Patrick O’Brien) thing that probably. That's the thing that pushed his works over the top Wall Patrick tols narration, his way of speaking and you know who is speaking. And he doesn't miss a beat when he talks over any kind of mechanical things.

This just kept me coming back for

The story goes on and on

This one felt slow to begin with but ends with a rousing finish. Will likely go for at least one more book

Another Hit

Those familiar with this series will not be disappointed with this book and as always the characters and story are brought to life by Patrick Tull's wonderful narration.

I love this series and this is a favorite. l

Patrick O'Brian never disappoints and this is no exception. Add the narration on Patrick Tull and this is a winner.

another wonderfully written sea story

Patrick Tull makes every book come alive, he is excellent. so in wads to the next tale

Decent story, but not the best.

O'Brian was running out of real history by this point and was beginning to rely on set pieces, but this is still worth reading if for no other reason than to advance the main story arc. Also it has a significant female character for a change.

Fantastic book

I loved it. Another great book sailing, adventure and prizes. I cannot wait to find out what happens next.

Audio needs editing

the audio needs editing, too many gaps with no sound then abruptly cutting back in. at least fill the gaps with the same background noise as the rest of the reading, (Patrick Tull breathing, other narrators narrating, etc.)

I thought the book left too much hanging. Steven was too indiscreet giving up the name of Sir Joseph to who could very easily have been planted by the French or Americans to get that very information. and there was something in the air about Clarissa that I feel wasn't fully explained by her story. perhaps we haven't heard the last of her.

Sea adventure with all my senses!

Being alive aboard Obrians ship at sea in 1500’s. Glorious, epic, and no social media!

Another great tale!

I really quite enjoyed listening to this installation of Patrick O'Brian's The Truelove. Once again he took a beautiful nautical tale and found a new way of telling it, using points of view that we would not normally receive from other authors and using literary methods that we would not normally see from some nautical authors.

I thought it was such a fun aspect to have so much of the book displaying Captain Aubrey at his most disappointed and upset with a crew. His emotions stemming from a divide amongst his crew due to the appearance of a mystery woman than marries Oakes.

But then to have everything come together with a daring land-based military action, with the crew working together and Captain Aubrey rising from his depression and leaving the fictional islands south of Hawaii in pursuit of a new prize. I thought it was a very fitting tale and I enjoyed it all.

I will say that I was slightly disappointed with the lack of naval action, but it is not the first book that has not included much naval action and I nonetheless enjoyed the tale.
