Lieutenant Hornblower Audiobook (Unabridged)

" As a Leiutenant, the insufferably perfect Hornblower has some entretaining adventures in the caribean. Of course this is a great book and I'll be reading his exploits as a Commander in the next!! "

" I wasn't particularly fond of the limited omniscient narration focusing on a new side character rather than on Hornblower. Otherwise a good read. "

" I liked that this one was more from Mr. Bush's perspective so we get to see how others see Horatio. "

" If you want to start reading the Hornblower series, start here. This book is a great introduction to Hornblower's character. The cast of the story are brilliantly written characters, who only in subtlety reveal their own thoughts and feelings as the book progresses. This is quite possibly my favorite Hornblower novel. "

" An extraordinary read. Part mystery, large part adventure. A well-balance tale that well written and compelling. I want to read more. "

" Wonderful British accents on this story. "

" From a different character's point of view. Still a quick, compelling read. "

" I believe it is even better than the first book... I found it to be full action and in a way it developed the character of Hornblower from a boy to a man... I am guessing the following books will not be concentrate more on the adventures of Hornblower... but I am just guessing... "

" action packed and deals better I think than O'Brian with the 'beached' aspect of the navy. Hornblower has friends in high places but not the resources or cash of Aubrey. As a book, it was good - the action was realistic, and Hornblower is written intelligently. "

" Told from Lt. Bush's POV. Loved it. "

" Again, I've read this series over and over again - I think my paperback versions are being to fall apart! "

" Very interesting choice to make the title character a secondary to the narrator, so I could see how others perceive him. As good as any Patrick O'Brian "

" Swashbuckling good fun told from the point of view of Bush, a fellow Lieutenant on board The Renown. Interesting to see Horatio from someone else's point of view. "

" Fantastic! Better than the first one. "

" At first I was confused as the narration switches from Horatio to Bush, but I quickly grew to love Bush as well. It was interesting to see how others viewed Horatio, and that we didn't exactly know what happens with the Captain. "

" Pretty awesome book, i really liked it "

" This book was written from the perspective of Lt. Bush. The book takes place on an Atlantic voyage under a mad captain. This book (2nd in the series), is the best written of the three I have read. "

" Told from a different character's perspective. Not that bad, but compared to the rest it's weak. "

" Good read. Captivating story with great descriptions without becoming a bore. Lt. Hornblower is a wonderful 2nd read. "

" Another in the same vein, i read this book in three days. "

" I liked that this one was more from Mr. Bush's perspective so we get to see how others see Horatio. "

" Lol, i have such fond memories of reading C.S Forester's books when I was a teenager. And guess what, they are still great. "

" I have just reread this this, absolutely brilliant full on adventure with great characters. "

" Not unfinishable because of the writing, but I'd seen the Hornblower series too recently, and it all felt a little retread while the family was sick. "

" Love the introduction of Bush and the development of his friendship with Horatio. "

" Love this series. I have read them at least a half a dozen times. "

" A very good book, very enjoyable, I would like to read more of these Horation Hornblower books. "

" Of Mr. Forester's typically excellent quality -- but as it was written later, it lacks consistency with the tales of Hornblower's later career which can confuse. "
