Captain Blood: A Radio Dramatization Audiobook

" Peter Blood, a doctor turned by force of circumstance into a slave on a Barbados sugar plantation, then escapes and becomes a pirate, sailing the Caribbean... what more can I say? "

" awesome! if you like pirates, you'll love this book. "

" I read this one when I was about 14-15 years old. In my own opinion this is a very well written book, with a story line that keeps you glued to the novel :) "

" Wonderful romp. You can see Errol Flynn every time you close your eyes, especially in the duels (though I think Blood has much more panache than Flynn could have ever portrayed!). "

" want to know where all the swashbuckling films you've ever seen came from..... it's this. a cracking yarn "

" A superb story about an Englishman turned pirate out of necessity: large words and clever story line make this an excellent read. "

" Just get through the first quarter and stay focused for the long winded prose, and this book is a great pirate adventure. I had no problem finishing it quickly. "

" I don't like all of Sabatini's but Captain Blood and Scaramouche are fantastic. "

" All ye need, me hearties: a good story about a formidable man who turns pirate, personable characters, with witty dialogue and prose. Just fun. "

" One of the great swashbuckling novels (and the movie is not too shabby either!). Sabatini definitely knows how to write a keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat plot. "

" This book was originally published in 1922, and therefore the plot and writing are somewhat dated. Still, it's a fun read, if you like swashbuckling pirates of the Old School (definitely NOT Johhny Depp!). So long as you don't expect it to be any more than it is, it's a good book. "

" Sometimes I just need me some Sabatini! "

" Whats not to like about a good swashbuckling adventure on the high seas in the Southern Carriabbean? Especially with the dashing Captain Blood as your hero. I loved this exciting read from cover to cover. "

" Captain Blood is THE MAN ! A soldier, a doctor, a pirate, a lover, and even a politician. He does it all, which makes for a very fun, lively and interesting read. "

" Rollicking, fast paced fun. My only complaints are that i found it too long for the type of story it is and the language distractingly flowery. "

" Good story-- but not as good as Scaramouche which left me wanting to quote half the book to everyone. "

" even though I knew the story well it was still a compelling read. "

" My favorite Sabatini. A rich, colorful tapestry of action and intrigue, punctuated by the finest insult writing you or I may ever encounter. Marvelous from stem to stren. "

" Awesome adventure book. I read it because I loved the Errol Flynn movie. This is one of the rare times that I love the book and the movie just the same. Both are just so much fun. "

" As much as I liked this one, I think The Sea Hawk is still my favorite Sabatini novel. This was a good one though. Yay for swashbucklers! "

" A rollicking, swashbuckling adventure yarn - they don't write books like this anymore! Get the audiobook if you can find it, you won't be disappointed. "

" Good, old-fashioned swash-buckling adventure on the high seas. Pretty cool. "

" I loved Sabatini's swashbuckling, good guy, bad situation epic. Captain Blood is a fictional compilation of several well known pirates a provides a nice escape to Caribbean. "

" Peter Blood is an Irish physician in England in the 1600's when he is arrested for treason and sent to Barbados as a slave. A very interesting tale as he becomes caught up in the world of naval battles and piracy. "

" Captain Blood is THE MAN ! A soldier, a doctor, a pirate, a lover, and even a politician. He does it all, which makes for a very fun, lively and interesting read. "

" The best romantic pirate novel. Is about as authentic as Pirates of the Caribbean (that is, not at all)-but far more sophisticated. A swashbuckling good read, if you can get through the really melodramatic bits to see how great this story really is. "

" A wonderful story of a cruel injustice that makes an outlaw of a gentleman, a dauntless damsel, Caribbean governors representing their European monarchs, and bold buccaneers. A delight. "

" Rollicking, fast paced fun. My only complaints are that i found it too long for the type of story it is and the language distractingly flowery. "

" Epic adventure; pretty similar to Scaramouch. :)<br/>The 2 are great examples of what a man should be. "

" Wonderful romp. You can see Errol Flynn every time you close your eyes, especially in the duels (though I think Blood has much more panache than Flynn could have ever portrayed!). "
