Book Reviews of Master and Commander (Movie Tie-In Edition)
Book Review: Literary time machine to 19th Century Britain!
Summary: 5 Stars
As an aficianado of Austen and sailing, I was led to this series by three friends who are absolute O'Brian devotees. To my utmost delight, in Master and Commander O'Brian weaves a tapestry that brilliantly evokes in both setting and language the feel of early nineteenth century Britain. Even if one is not naturally given to reading tales of the high seas, the Aubrey/Maturin books are outstanding merely as literary ventures, sheer escapism to bear the reader utterly to another time. Even the most placid of individuals can find himself cheering a full broadsides from Aubrey's ship in some naval battle or other; even the most serious of readers will twitter over the wit and humour that follow the two protagonists. If reading fiction can be termed "mind candy," then surely Master and Commander and its successors are Godiva hazlenut truffles.
