Amber’s Reviews > The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder > Status Update

I rarely say this, but this book is too long. It takes like half the book to even get to the shipwreck, and then the mutiny and murder part is over by like 75% in. So basically you get half a book about cool fact about nautical things (like where phrases like "three sheets to the wind" come from), which is normally exactly my cup of tea, but in this case it wasn't why I picked up this book.
