A review by shermanberry
Master and Commander by Patrick O'Brian
1.0
I was recommended this book by a colleague at work. I tried to gently let him know that this isn't my usual genre but he carried on like an obsessional zealot and loaned me the first two books.
I am happy to say I've finished book one. What a struggle. I think this is the first time EVER that I have given a one star review. This was the dullest book I have ever read. I had a total lack of interest and just wanted it to be over. The author spent almost three pages describing different sails at one point.
With apologies to the legion of fans, I found it relentlessly tedious and completely devoid of pleasure. Truly awful. I would rather pull off my finger nails than read the second book.
