Not all favourites are littered with annotations, not all are poetic, not all are about delving into the dark recesses of the heart. Some, simply and well told, have you scampering at the early hours, fighting against the dawning darkness. This, this was such a story. 

Apparently forgot to update this ages ago. It's a swashbuckling tale and good fun for light reading. Sabatini clearly tried to make it read like a 18th century novel, and I'd say he succeeded for the most part.

I loved the audiobook narrated by b.j. Harrison

genuinely loved it! God he so good! The writing was great the character of blood is amazing. From the first chapter till its end Peter blood is a great pirate... he is a good man who was a bit unfortunate until he made the odds in his favor. The last page has made me laugh so hard! I’m still shaking.. god he was good!

Нередко, перечитывая любимую в детстве книгу, с грустью понимаешь что по сути это весьма примитивное произведение.
В данном случае были все предпосылки ожидать такое же восприятие произведения Рафаэля Сабатини - приключенческий роман про пиратов, он не может быть, казалось, ничем стоящим.
И было приятно обнаружить что при всей простоте, книга очень хороша и написана на хорошем уровне.
Была перечитана с удовольствием.

Dads favourite book, the amount of mis prints and words printed upsidown is worth reading alone. Very good little book.
