It was very beautifully written and certainly engaging. I appreciated the adventure and I appreciated how it really got into the psychology of the characters towards the end. I felt like the author had a good grasp on human behavior.

My only problems were that 1) the title doesn't fit. And 2) it just seemed a bit disjointed in some ways. The transitions between different times in Jaffy's life weren't very smooth. There were some odd times when the narrative voice of older Jaffy would barge in and give bits of foreshadowing that I would have preferred not to know. There were a few little plot threads that didn't get resolved. But these are small things.

And yeah, it's pretty gruesome and graphic in terms of violence and suffering. Definitely not for the faint of heart. If you're one of those people who give books one star reviews for having swear words in it, don't read this book. It's not nearly as obscene as it could be given that many of the characters are sailors, but it has the swears. No graphic sexual content although sex is mentioned and characters go to brothels sometimes.

I was held from the first few pages. I was very comfortable easing right into it. It kept my interest right away, the characters were easy to get to know. The book seemed to read so easily that I finised it sooner than I expected. It will be worth a reread. It's from a young mans perspective, which is refreshing. The descriptions of the smallest things were so well done that I was able to see what the author was going for. I look forward to the next novel.

It was well researched, as far as I can see.  It also held my attention and kept me very interested.  It was, a romance-which is not usually the genre I find interesting; however, it still was interesting enough to hold my attention.  All in all, I really enjoyed it.
