A review by james_patrick
Lieutenant Hornblower by C.S. Forester
4.0
Loved it. This is a series I've been looking for for several years and it did not disappoint. Captain Sawyer gives off obvious Donald Trump vibes, and then the book turns into Among Us: Royal Navy Frigate Edition, with the title character behaving VERY sus for the rest of the story. Two additions from our own times that only benefit the book.
I like how the answer to the mystery of who pushed the Captain down the hatchway is unresolved and left ambiguous, and I like how well paced the story was. It loses momentum towards the end, however, and the last few chapters are without a doubt the least interesting.
