Too much focus on the shore time intrigues

Revisado: 06-17-18

I love the Patrick O’Brien series. Especially master and commander. But this book was slow and tedious, with much too much of the bulk of the book about a short time intrigue and romantic triangles. I much prefer it when the author sticks to descriptions of the early 19th century naval battles. I’m hoping the next book in the series will keep to that as its primary focus

Great 18th Century English Naval history Novel

Revisado: 05-22-18

Excellent novel if you enjoy fiction based on English naval history. You will learn much of ships and their officers and their sailings and battles with the French and Spanish in the Napoleonic era.

Lot's of cursing, drug use and sex between teens

Revisado: 07-28-17

Would you try another book from Laleh Khadivi and/or Assaf Cohen?

I get this is the way some teens live and speak and frolic, but it is so obsessive at the beginning of the book, I can't imagine reading another novel from this author.

What could Laleh Khadivi have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Use illusions instead of all the foul language, sexual descriptions, drug use and gang warfare, was just too much...rather than the story leading the story, these elements overwhelmed the story. I heard about the story in an interview on PBS, after listening to the first 45 minutes I returned it for a refund.

What about Assaf Cohen’s performance did you like?

Voices and cadence and characters were excellent, you could really "see" their personalities. Excellent vocal performance.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

I was just sad...sad that this was how teens treat each other, and use each other in the haze of drug use and rebellion.

Any additional comments?

Choose another read, there are better ways to tell this much needed story.
