That's the exact reason why I find it difficult to decide to read this book or not. I'm not drawn so much into the sea adventures, but it does seem an impressive work.briellejee wrote: ↑06 Apr 2019, 09:26 The lack of explaining or putting in context of the sea jargons made it difficult to grasp the situations, thus less a star. It decreased my focus and readability, to be honest.

I know right. I also read samples of the page when it was the BOTD. It was surprisingly enthralling. The author took me on an adventure for sure.Brandy C wrote: ↑03 Apr 2019, 14:20 I downloaded this book and read sample pages when it was the book of the day. I did not expect to enjoy this book as much as I did! After the first few pages, I knew I would finish this book. The story is very compelling and simply written. The aspect I enjoyed the most was the unfathomable human spirit. When faced with insurmountable odds the human spirit always shines through. The only aspect that gave me pause was some of the vocabularies used for sailing. My overall opinion is a 4 out of 4 stars . The story was action-filled, relatable and suspenseful. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a great read.

What I liked most about the book was the author’s deft handling of all the different character narratives and subplots. He wove them all seamlessly together into one cohesive story.
What I liked least is that I thought several of the side characters were written rather stereotypically. I also thought that some of the subplots were tied up a little too cleanly and quickly as the book was drawing to a close. I love a happy ending, but the way circumstances just suddenly and magically fell together for those characters seemed a little convenient to me.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this book to other people to read! I think anyone who loves a good adventure story would enjoy it.
