Captain Blood
by Rafael Sabatini
You know when you find the perfect book? It’s like a perfectly ripe nectarine on a hot summer day. Everything fits together. A perfectly ripe nectarine wouldn’t happen in winter, and even then, if you got a good nectarine in winter, it wouldn’t taste or smell like winter should. The point I’m trying to make is that Captain Blood was the perfect book, for this moment. I craved adventure, I craved vengeance, swashbuckling, I wanted a book that made me “Whoop!” with victory, scream with despair, and take me on an emotional roller coaster.
And that’s what I got.
Like I said. Perfect.
I really cannot explain how much I loved every word I read. I was sneaking around my own house reading this book. Captain Blood is the *consummate* pirate, foppish, romantic, beautiful, and completely violent. He was the Malcolm Reynolds of the seas. Oh how I adored it!
