What the critics say
"The best historical novels ever written." (The New York Times Book Review)
"No writer alive can move one as O'Brian can; no one can make you laugh so loud with hilarity, whiten your knuckles with unbearable tension or choke with emotion. He is the master." (Irish Times)

Set sails
loved it, felt as though I was a part of such a glorious era of sail and sea. I'm looking forward to book 2.

Awesome story-telling
Patrick O’Brian gives the reader no possible reason to suspect that he himself was not there.

Well written and narrated
I can understand why this book received so many high marks. It is well written with a phenomenal amount of detail of nautical terms as used in the late 18th and early 19th century. In addition, there is a plethora of characters that are likely to appear in subsequent books of the series. Having said that, this book did not do it for me and I will not continue with the series. The plot, if any exists is pretty meager. I guess that I am not a fan of naval literature.
