A review by vermidian
Master and Commander by Patrick O'Brian

2.0

I officially quit this book at page 82 and will not be returning. A classic it may be, but the plot moves so slowly and the writing is pedantic and difficult to get into unless you already know the terminology of sailing ships - which I do not. I don't fault the book for my lack of knowledge, but the characters are also a little one-note in terms of how they've come across. At nearly 20% of the way through the book, I just couldn't get into it. I'll leave this book to someone who enjoys naval history more than I do.
