Nick Chianese and 121 other people liked Elizabeth (Plant Based Bride)'s review of The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder: "Oh, where do I even begin with this one? If you're looking for a story with heart, soul, and characters you can actually care about, keep looking because this book missed the memo.

The novel tries hard to invoke cosmic horror but the author is no Lovecraft. There is no character development, no layers to the narrative and Deus Ex Machina prevails al" Read more of this review »
