Robert Burns: A Collection of Poems and Songs Audiobook

" Wonderful! One of my favorites...like Moby-Dick, it can be enjoyed over and over. Comprised of Mutiny on the Bounty, Men Against The Sea and Pitcairn's Island, it's meaty and fulfilling. "

" The Mutiny on the Bounty is truly one of my favorite books of all time. You've seen the films, you think you know the story, but the book goes so far beyond that. The part about Bligh's navigating them to Timor in that little boat is more than remarkable. The part about the mutineers on Pitcairn is fascinating, and not hard to see how things went so horribly awry there. I don't know why I love sea stories but I do and this is the best. "

" The first book was really good. It was written as a narration of the mutiny and the resulting trial in England. The second one covered the story of how Bligh managed to survive with his loyal crew on the life boat. The third book covered what happened to the mutineers. The second and third book went downhill in quality from the first. "

" Pretty tame so far. "

" I read this as a kid because it was one of my Dad's favorites. It is amazing how your sympathies shift in each of the books. "

" A book I read when I was 12 or 13 and that really helped to get me reading. A bit of everything for a young person: a bit of Rousseauian paradise and free love; the need for rebellion; the need for leadership and stoicism; and the tragic fates that sometimes meet our best hopes and intentions.[return][return]A bit of a boy's book, though. No doubt. "

" Amazing story that I always attracted me to go to sea and and the same time scared me away. It clearly shows the worst of a life at sea. It also shows the best of an aboriginal community. "

" I loved these books. It was fascinating to follow what happened to the three groups of sailors after the mutiny. Great books "

" Pitcairn's Island seems like it was just thrown together. I like the ideas it raises about leadership, religion, depression, and addiction in the context of starting a new society. Not to mention the trilogy is non fiction. I liked the first two books the best. "

" The classic trilogy about the mutiny on board the Bounty. I love these books and am fascinated by any books on the subject. "

" This trilogy of books still stands as my favorite of all time. "

" The greatest sea story ever told. Period. "

" This series colored my whole adolescence. In my mind, heaven looks like just like Tahiti, with bookshelves. "

" I thought this was great. 'The Open Boat' gives you insight into Captain Bligh and what kind of man he was...he didn't get the respect he deserved. Makes you consider what kind of person Fletcher Christian was, too. "

" Wonderfully written, fascinating tale of the sea. The books get better as the trilogy progresses. My only criticism is that an awful lot of the facts seem to be disputed in more serious sources. "

" Very good objective rendering of what and why the mutiny happened "

" I've only read the first, but that twice and not this edition. "

" Interesting, but a rather hard come-down after the Aubrey/Maturin books. Best part by far was the settling and Lord-of-the-Flies-esque breakdown of Pitcairn Island. "

" I have read this trilogy a few times and have always loved it. It's a classic and I tend to love to read classics. I last read it in my thirties. I might just read it again soon. "

" Awesome true adventure. "

" First great adventure that got me interested in reading. "

" A very fine book in its own right (apart from the killer adaptation with Charles Laughton & Clark Gable). Really captures the edge of Captain Bligh's cruelty & Christian's decency. One of the better sea tales. "

" The story of the H.M.S. Bounty will always fascinate me. "

" This was the best nautical book I've read, which is saying a lot. Each book is from a different point of view, which helps to give differect perspectives on the main characters. I couldn't put it down. "

" I could smell the salt, sea water while I read this book. The boat creaked as it rocked me to and fro in the sunlight of the tropics. What a Book! What a writer! This one mateys, is a good'n. "

" Took over a decade to finish this. Started with a shocking pleasure in reading Mutiny while traveling in 2002. I finally tracked down the whole trilogy and ran through Men Against the Sea and Pitcairn's Island. Neither was as good as Mutiny, but fun to read. "
