Captain Blood by Rafael Sabatini

4.0

---

Super fun pirate story, especially as an audio book. The tale itself is enjoyable and fast-paced, with plenty of sword fights and treachery. The scope of the story is far-reaching, pulling you across the Atlantic Ocean and dragging you into near-death encounters with political movements (without delving too deeply into them).The plot suffers a bit from cliche and predictability, and, let's face it, constant misunderstandings and refusal to *just talk to each other already* can only last so long before one gets frustrated. The book itself rates a 4 star for me, but the audio book narrated by B.J. Harrison is easily 5 stars: he's a fabulous performer.
