The Hundred Days Audiobook

" First Recorded Reading: November 17, 1999. "

" Second time through not as fun as the first because you know what's going to happen, but every book in this series is genius. I'll be reading it again in another couple of years. "

" Not one of the best in the series. I was about two-thirds of the way through before I realized I had read it before. Still, it is one of my favorite series. "

" First Recorded Reading: November 17, 1999. "

" More of a nautical romp than the last book, though not as light-hearted as some. "

" Another segment is folded into this one that is a bit tedious, but not so much as the others. Overall, this one is quite good, though the death of a couple of characters is dealt with in surprisingly-brief form. "

" My favorite character is dead! "

" see my review of The Wine Dark Sea. "

" Once again the story is secondary to the fascinating relationship of Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin. There are enough sea battles with Barbary pirates to keep the action going but the characters' give and take are primary to the enjoyment of the book. The worst thing about the novel is that this is the 19th installment and there is only one book left in the series. "

" A fine book, but not as good as previous O'Brian's. Maybe the series slowed down as Mr. O"brian came toward the end of his life. "

" first read Dec 2007 "

" Aubrey and Maturin are successful once again. However, there is a human toll this time that saddened me. I'm enjoying the series and moving on to the next book, wondering what I'll read when I'm done. "

" fine fine. "

" see my review of The Wine Dark Sea. "

" I liked this entry better than the previous but the series is definitely on the downswing though it was still fun to catch up with Captain Jack and Stephen. After a one book hiatus I was able to find an audio read by Patrick Tull who really is the voice of this series. "

" Very little about Napoleon! "

" This book is like getting on a roller coaster...but without the slow windup at the beginning. Nonstop action and intrigue that is hard to put down and sends you looking for maps and history books to understand what is going on. "

" If you've managed to get to this point in the Aubrey/Maturin series of novels, you undoubtedly love the characters and all of that wonderful story that O'Brian has managed to weave together. My only regret is finishing it, as I'm almost done with the entire series. "

" There is considerably more nautical information than I ever want to know, which totally obscured the storyline for me. "

" Drawing near the end, The Master sketches a bit episodically in this one, and dispatches some characters - perhaps abruptly. Not enough Jack for my tastes, though there's a great Killick bit. "Patriotism, promotion, and prize money." "

" One character I loved died, and one I disliked a great deal died. These statement make the book seem more exciting then it is in reality. Not my favorite Patrick O'Brian book. "

" I have really enjoyed this series and this book is no exception. When we think of Napoleon's return for the 100 days of the title we naturally think of his comeuppance at Waterloo. So this book is especially interesting since it addresses the much less well-known role of the English navy. "

" Far too ticked about a couple of events in this book to rate it 5 stars. "

" Another great installment in Jack and Stephen's naval adventures. There were two big shockers, one near the beginning and one near the end, that I won't reveal here. "

" first read Dec 2007 "

" Previously read Nov. 9, 2009. "

" This was my second time reading this book. I love the whole series. "

" #19 and said goodbye to one of the peripheral characters who have been in this series forever...only 1 1/2 books left in the series. That makes me sad to think of saying goodbye to characters who have become familiar in the pleasant way of old friends. "

" This one made me a little sad, which made me happy that the series is almost over, which in turn made me sad that I was happy it was almost over. "

" Loss of Barrett Bondon was quite a shock to this reader. The man was an icon. He will be missed. "

" Enjoyable - and glad that our good doctor expressed regret at killing the lion.A little unimpressive during the "I'm a doctor of natural philosophy but don't knowabout how that moon thingy changes every night." Still, it was a good installment of the series. "

" I am despondent to think that after 19 journeys together, I will have to bid farewell to Aubrey and the Dr. after just one and a half more. How empty life will be without them after these years together. "

" This is book 19 of 20. I am in the home stretch and will miss these guys when I am finished with the series. These are rich historical novels, not just for men. "
