lactomar 's review for:
HMS Surprise
by Patrick O'Brian
Continue to enjoy this series as a palate cleanser in between other reads. Continue to like the focus on sailing and medicine at sea. Probably my favorite of the three so far, very interesting southern ocean passage and look at the Indian empire.
Drags a bit in the middle like they all do, but the minimizing of the love/marriage machinations (a bit) helps with that. Having done a thoracotomy, not sure Maturin could have extracted a bullet from his own pericardium and survived...but I'm sure there's precedent there.
