Book Reviews of Master and Commander (Movie Tie-In Edition)
Book Review: "Royals, lower and tops'l stuns'ls..." I am hooked!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved the film version but had heard of rumblings from loyal fans of O'Brian that the film was a hodge podge assembly of various books. Having not till now read any of the books, I still loved and own the film. A friend loaned me this (first book) in the series and having read it now I am fully salted and totally hooked. What a fabulous author, who has caught the very fragrance of the ocean, all the phrases (none of which I understood) of the sailors as orders are barked fore and aft, of the cycles of calm and tremendous action as naval warfare is blasted at close quarters. I can hardly wait to chomp down on the other book loaned to me, which is "The Far Side of the World". Very highly recommended.....endlessly fascinating characterizations, with even the simplest person well fleshed out. My only regret is that I had not read O'Brian earlier.....Haul up the Maintopsail, I am going to retrieve more O'brian booty!!!!
