A review by scottlukaswilliams
Mutiny on the Bounty by Charles Nordhoff, James Norman Hall

5.0

This is a compelling, first person fiction based on the historical mutiny on the Bounty. I found it quite difficult to put down. I read most of it in one long night. There were times I forgot it was fiction, so well were the characters defined and so honest the voice of the narrator.

I have always been drawn to tales of adventure on the seas. I wish heartily that I had the courage and fortitude to become a sailor myself but, at least I have books like this one to enjoy the experience vicariously through.
