Query: Not Much Humor Here.

I bought a double-sided copy of this book, along with the next in the series, The Pirates! In an Adventure with Ahab (Whaling). I read both, hoping the second would be better than this one, but was disappointed. There is almost no action, funny awkward situations or even inappropriate material that could bring a laugh. The characters in the story, especially the Captain, are mostly incompetent and dishonest, not very funny characteristics. Try Bored of the Rings or a George Carlin book, heck, even Dave Barry is funnier than these time-wasters.
