An interesting book this one. The prose... a lot of it isn't for me, honestly. If it wasn't Hemingway writing it, I'd actually think some of it is laughable. But the fact he did write it, and it is semi-autobiographical really makes me thing. This is a ...more |

My favourite of the Aubrey/Maturin books which I've read so far. Probably because the two main characters are together for the bulk of the book and also at sea. I was a bit let down in the last couple of chapters which veered off onto Maturin's spy wo ...more |

I enjoyed this more than Desolation Island. It's the second Aubry/Maturin book I've read and I've read three Hornblower books now, so maybe I've got my eye in, as it were, and understand the nautical stuff a bit better. The stuff O'Brian does well is ...more |

Wavered between 3 and 4 stars. About on a par with Lieutenant Hornblower, but not quite as cohesive as a story. Nice to see Hornblower's inner conflicts and his growing affection for Maria though. ...more |

Thought it was an improvement on the first book. Much the same sort of fare, but better pacing (at least, up until the end). The action and the nautical terms were much better explained. Again, enjoyed the humorous moments. Interesting choice that it wa ...more |

I first read this book when I was quite young -- maybe 12 or 13. Reading it again over 20 years later, I was struck by just how much I could remember. It's a very powerful book, a politically-charged family saga, cleverly bringing plot points from ear ...more |

This book was a rare treat for me, because I read most of the Discworld books growing up, but missed a few. This was one of the few I missed, and I found it with a bunch of others in a second-hand bookshop recently. So not only had I not read it, but i ...more |

This isn't known as one of Christie's classics, and you can see why. There are a few things to recommend the book: it's interesting to see Miss Marple getting old and worried about being sidelined. And I suspect that although Christie talks a lot about ...more |

I enjoyed this book, but it was very episodic. At some points I got rather lost in the nautical terms (I read through one sea battle without realising Hornblower was atop a mast until it fell over) The TV show (view spoiler) ...more |
