It's Hard Reading
I really, really wanted to like this book, I really did. However, the writing is in the language of the time and how they spoke so it makes it extremely hard for me to read. I tried three times to read it, and just could not get through it, I even tried listening to it, and I couldn't do it. If you liked the movie, I say to give it a try, you might enjoy it and can get through it.
Best writing in decades
Seriously, the best series of books I've run into in a long,long time! I keep buying it for other people to read too!
This book introduces us to the series of Aubrey- Maturin historical novels that take place during the Napoleanic wars. The story accurately depicts life aboard a ship of the Royal Navy during the height of England's superiority on the seas. The period language and nautical terminology provide an education for the fans of naval history; the rich character development engages the discriminating fiction reader as well.
Too technical
I'm having a hard time getting through it. I've heard it gets better. Lots of technical stuff that bogs it down.
