A review by marinalikeaboatyard
Cup of Gold: A Life of Sir Henry Morgan, Buccaneer, with Occasional Reference to History by John Steinbeck

adventurous slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

This reads like an episode of Drunk History, and sort of parodies our romanticization of pirates while shrewdly commenting on colonialism. You can practically hear Steinbeck laughing at the reader. 10/10 no notes.
