The Book of Pirates Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This book was a dirge. Yes..there's lot of stories. But they are told in a very dull and uneventful way that it reads almost like a history text book. "

" Lost interest, dry storyline for an adventure book, and I cannot see how a child would pick this up and enjoy it even though it is a children's book. "

" An informative book about the lives of pirates and buccaneers. "

" I love pirates. This book could use a modern-day editor to update it a little. Had a few slow moments and a lot of the language was outdated. Still fun. "

" [Audio] Don't know much about the historical accuracy of the book, but a fun read. Though full of adventure, it hints at the dark side of pirating. "

" Occasionally, my attention was grabbed by some interesting details or facts, but my mind kept drifting, sadly. I'm sorry that I was not able to pay more attention to what I was reading due to the fact that I love pirates! "

" This is not the "right" cover but we had this book on our shelves when I was kid. The illustrations are tremendous and there's plenty of "lore" too. I think HP was N.C. Wyeth's father-in-law. Date read is "general". "

" From the locked cabinet at school. Read aloud. Pictures easily the best part. "

" Anyone who takes telling pirate stories seriously should read this book. "

" I don't know how it's possible to turn anecdotes of the biggest names in piracy into a dry, uninteresting recitation of stories that are neither unique nor particularly scandalous, but this volume accomplished it. "

" I enjoyed this book of pirate stories. It gave insight about the Caribbean and life there. Many of my ancestors were master mariners, and seamen, sailing between Boston or Bcuksport or Barrington and ports in the Caribbean or Europe. Almost every family had someone lost at sea. "
