Subject: Ripping Yarn

Another vote in favor of this book. The author was a popular writer of sea stories in the 19th Century. This book was published in 1887. Russel came by his knowledge of the sea honestly, having served as a sailor for 8 years. He was so well known that Arthur Conan Doyle mentioned him in one of his Sherlock Holmes stories. Despite the implausiblity of the plot, I couldn't put this book down. Well written and convincing--truly a Ripping Yarn.

Subject: I liked it a lot

Sorry Mike did not like this book. I really enjoyed it. I had never heard of this author, but I thought his writing was marvellous. I loved the descriptions of the stormy sea, the icebergs, and the idea of all these dead pirates lying around is nice and creepy.
Wonderful reading too.

Subject: I couldn't get into this book

I listened to the first six chapters of this book 2x and just couldn't get into the book. It was very boring. I would expect it to pick up a bit after six chapters, but nope, just not interesting.

The readers were good, no complaints, the book itself was just boring. I will probably try again another time to see if it draws me in.
