Captain Blood by Rafael Sabatini
3.0

A fine pirate adventure. Captain Blood has more lives than a cat, and he has incredible swag. Dr. Blood is a fine doctor, but he gets tied up in political intrigue after doctoring a rebel. He is sent to Barbados as an indentured servant (tbh, a slave) but he escapes and becomes a pirate.

Once he becomes a successful pirate, it's just tale after tale of adventure. It got repetitive and boring after a while.

If you're into pirate stories, this is a good one. At first I enjoyed it more than Treasure Island, but the second half was much weaker.
