A review by michael5000
The Far Side of the World by Patrick O'Brian

5.0

Nov 2012: Some improbably surrealistic events in this one, which probably means that O'Brian had exact accounts in triplicate to support them, but still. Showcases the tendency of the A/M books to end precisely where most authors would begin the big climactic action.

April 2015 (audio): Such an odd installment, with the most surreal passages of the entire epic, but so dramatic, so funny, and so satisfying. The joyful Surprise!
