Good Story, but too long!

Revisado: 01-23-19

B.J Harrison MAKES this reading! He does an incredible job of representing each character with a unique voice and speaks accents perfectly! As to the story itself: too long, too many details to recall, not sufficiently rewarding in the end - in short: watch the movie; it’s a better story.

Close on to the best book I've ever had the priviledge to read/hear! Fantastic characters, epic adventures, marvelous plot, no waste of space in the pages with dull chapters! Edge-of-your-set reading the whole time! I think I may have finally find an author to follow in Señore Sabatini!

Suggestion: A foreknowledge (slight or significant) of the Caribbean geography, ships ("port/lee/starboard" especially), weaponry, Spanish, Latin, and French makes the story so much the easier to enjoy....The reader would be rewarded if research is done ahead of and/or during the reading.

Regarding the naration: B.J. Harrison does a marvelous job, nearly the best narrator I've heard! He straight up NAILS the various accents and appropriates PERFECT voices for each character which remain distinct and unique throughout the story! Also, for an American (or so he sounded to be), he does a fair job with the Spanish pronunciation and an even better one with the French. I could hear him read my least favorite book and enjoy it simply because he's the reader! I've also found perhaps a narrator to follow!

Good way to test one's liking for the book

This isn't a story I especially enjoyed. The performance was decent though. I am aware the book differs somewhat from the drama but the drama shows me I wouldn't like the book.

One of the best books I've heard

Revisado: 09-03-17

An excellent medieval story with a good plot, cast, and moral. It was certainly exciting to listen to, but it lacked the heartgripping breathtaking awe of a truly knife-edge story. However, the book is appropriately paced and no time is wasted in uninteresting description. As to action, there is plenty....no less than 4 battles occur described. Adventure is more lacking as most of the book takes place indoors or at the castle. Romance is minimal....more or less summed up; mentioned only a few times. Very safe and appropriate read for most ages!

Wonderful story; gutwrenching ending

Revisado: 09-01-17

The story is riveting, the characters captivating, the adventure breathtaking, the romance heartbreaking. It is for this heartbreak that I score the story as I do.....I was unaware of it before I bought the book....had I been I would not have bought the book....Tragedies are for me too, well, tragic. If the ending be a sad one, I leave the book an unfulfilled reader.
