Customer Reviews
A work in progress
I would have given this 2.5 stars if possible. I cam across it while looking for a novel set during the Revolutionary War on and American naval vessel. It is that. But it is also a far fetched story probably meant to inspire dreams of glory in a young teenager. It was written in a fairly juvenile way and the number of editing, spelling, and other grammatical problems at times made it difficult to read. I would guess it’s the author’s first attempt at writing a novel. It frankly surprised me that it made it past the editors to be published. Having said all those negative things, the plot is interesting in spite of being somewhat implausible.
