During his life and even after his death, Captain William Kidd’s name was known around England and the American colonies. He was infamous for the very crime for which he was hanged, piracy. This book by Rebecca Simon dives into the details of the two-year manhunt for Captain Kidd and the events that ensued afterward. Captain Kidd was hanged in 1701, and from that sprung a massive hunt for all pirates led by the British during a period known as the Golden Age of Piracy. Ironically, public executions only led to pirates’ growth in popularity and interest.

Repetitive
Revisado: 03-29-21
Gracious, I think the author describes how pirates are hung in detail at least three times. There is interesting information but the repetitiveness of the material is overwhelming. The author is obviously trying to reach a word count. This is the type book that could be reduced to a few chapters and you wouldn’t miss a thing.
Gracious, this book is very repetitive...
Gracious, the author is so repetitive I thought the recording was repeating the same chapter over and over...
Gracious...
Sorry, am I repeating myself? I wanted to make a lengthy comment.
