Under the Jolly Roger

Bloody Jack #3

De: L. A. Meyer

Narrado por: Katherine Kellgren

In the third book of the "Bloody Jack" series, unlikely heroine Jacky Faber, a pirate at heart, returns to the sea in a truly swashbuckling tale filled with good humour, wit, and courage.

After leaving the Lawson Peabody School for Young Girls in Boston - under dire circumstances, of course - Jacky boards a whaling ship bound for London, where she hopes to find her beloved Jaimy.

But things don't go as planned, and she is off on a wild misadventure at sea. She thwarts the lecherous advances of a crazy captain, rallies the sailors to her side, and ultimately gains command of a ship in His Majesty's Royal Navy. But Jacky's adventures don't end there....

Soon she is being called a pirate, and there's a price on her head!

Light , fun, good listening on a long car ride

Where does Under the Jolly Roger rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I enjoy most of the audio books I listen to. But since I just bought #4, I must like these a lot. They are light, fun, rolicking adventures. The reader is GREAT!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Bloody Jack, of course!

What does Katherine Kellgren bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her ability to project Jack's enthusiasm and upbeat character is terrific! She makes the series!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes. I have a 2 day drive I make several times a year and these books make the drive fly by

Any additional comments?

Nope!

A good fun book

Would you consider the audio edition of Under the Jolly Roger to be better than the print version?

Have no idea since I have not read the book but will say the interpretation by the reader and voice inflection adds to the experience.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No

Fantastic series

I was very pleasantly surprised when i gave the first book a chance - and I was hooked from the first chapter!
So very sad that both the author & narrator have since passed - both were extremely talented.

I love this

this lady is perfect for this series. she reads it so well. very consistent. it's wonderful to hear her sing and use different accents.
This was the 1st book I found of the series and a decade later I still love it.

Holy crap

Just unbelievably good. Laugh and cry out loud moments. I have no adjective that is adequate to describe how fabulous this book is. Can’t wait for the next one.
