lukejkelly's review against another edition
3.0
Dodd is an interesting character, but less developed than Hornblower, Forester's more iconic hero. While Hornblower is complex and full of self-doubt, Dodd is single-minded determination personified. This is a short story about endurance, determination and how one man can make a significant difference when he puts his mind to it. It didn't entertain me as much as Forester's other works, but it's definitely worth a read if you enjoy his books. The audiobook narration, by Christian Rodska, is excellent as ever.
