Well, it was exactly as you might expect. Pirates, parrots, treasure, yar-har and rum. And like all books written back then, it ends very suddenly in a handful of pages. But it’s a kids’ book, so there’s no reason to expect a metaphysical masterpiece. This is about talking parrots and captains named Billy Bones. 7.5/10.
