Pirates of the Caribbean: The Price of Freedom
by A.C. Crispin
Just like the films, I thought this book was a lot of fun, but not as good as it could have been. Sometimes the writing seemed very juvenile, almost like something I would have written when I was 13 or 14. The first half of the book dragged, and then all of the really good stuff at the end went by in a flash. I felt like some things were just tacked on to correlate with the films. I also felt like Jack didn't really develop, and I had a very hard time picturing him. I just had hard time reconciling the two characters; the Jack in this book just didn't seem like the same character played by Johnny Depp. So much of it just seemed weak to me. However, it was a really fun read (once you got past the monotonous stuff).
I would definitely read another POTC book by A.C. Crispin, but more because it will be a fun read rather than because it will be well-written.
P.S. If you enjoyed the nautical/piratical aspects of this book, you'll really like the Jacky Faber books by L.A. Meyer. The first book is a bit tough to get through, but after that, they just keep getting better and better.
