Book Reviews of Patrick O'Brian's Navy
Book Review: The Real Life of Jack Aubrey
Summary: 5 Stars
Fans of Patrick O'Brian will love it and so should anyone who loves the sea, sailing ships and our fascinating maritime history.At first glance this seems like a 'coffee table' book - to be admired, but not necessarily read. Closer examination reveals an impressively well-researched book, packed full of excellent illustrations. There is a wide range of well-reproduced paintings of famous ships and battles. There are maps, sketches, cartoons, engravings, diagrams, portraits and water-colours. Every aspect of a 19th century sailor's life is described clearly, accurately and in an interesting manner.
Links to Jack Aubrey are scattered through the book, with a welcome 'Cast of Characters' on 4 pages, as well as a glossary of nautical terms found in the Patrick O'Brian books. You might want to buy two of these books - one for your coffee table and one to read and re-read.
