A review by flyingsails
Mr. Midshipman Easy by Frederick Marryat

4.0

Very different from any of the naval fiction I've read previously, and I can see why it's regarded as "Marryat's best work." Jack Easy is a unique hero, oft times acting almost silly in his views of the world, and yet always coming out on top. His naivety and cleverness together make him an endearing character, and although I usually enjoy first-person narratives more, I did like Mr. Midshipman Easy better than Peter Simple.
