I watched the 1930s Erroll Flynn movie first. This book was really good too and now I want to watch the movie again.

Rafael Sabatini's "Captain Blood" is an exciting historical novel of the romance, debonair, savagery and swashbuckling experienced by its titular hero. Falsely convicted of treason and sold into slavery, Peter Blood's journey highlights the era's injustices and searches for timely solutions. Although seas battles and a complicated woman are key, Sabatini appears most interested in the moral predicament of Blood, who struggles to maintain an honorable code while living the pirate life.
What an absolutely fantastic story!!! Adventure, pirates, romance! I was incredibly pleased with this book.

Such a good book!!!! I stayed up all night to finish it. There was adventure and romance, and the characters were all very interesting. I believe this is my favorite book of 2023! I can't wait to read the other books in the trilogy!! Slow start, but after a few chapters, OH MY GOD!!
UKUPNA OCENA (overall rating) ★★★

Pozitivno (pros) - pirati.
Negativno (cons) - tipičan avanturistički roman iz tog perioda, odličan početak ali kasnije radnja postaje previše uopštena.

Definitely a product of its time. It’s a classic swashbuckler, consistent tone, romantic subplot, with a surprisingly satisfactory ending.
Solid adventure. Treason, romance, the high seas--all well-written! Thoroughly enjoyed it.
