The Mutiny on Board the H.M.S. Bounty (Abridged) Audiobook

" Not a terribly interesting read. Although I was hopeful given the chance to read a first-hand account of the actual story. Non-fiction just did not equal up to the fiction this time. "

" It is amazing how Hollywood can distort reality. We all "know" Captain Bligh as an ogre and a madman, but this book sets the record straight. Here you will discover the mutineer whose "voice" seems to have influenced Hollywood, but he did have an axe to grind. "

" Excellent. Quite the adventure. Strangely understated. A remarkable achievement. "

" The most fascinating thing about this story is that it's true. Captain Bligh's 4,000 mile trip in a crowded, 23-foot boat (with only one casualty) was really impressive. The appendices, which are by far the most intriguing, tell what the mutineers did after they took control of the ship and what happened once they got to Otaheite (now Tahiti). The natives revolt, the slaves revolt, then the women revolt: Lots of conflict and violence involving mauls, axes, guns, and shovels. John Adams, the only mutineer to survive all the fighting, and Jenny had interesting stories, and it was also interesting to read the articles about the British and American ships coming to Tahiti.

" I had seen the movies and heard about this event, but what I had never heard was the rest of the story where captain Bligh and half his crew are put on a whaling boat and put to sea. Through his amazing skill they made a 3600 mile trip in that small boat to a safe port. "

" I loved this book. It was very well written. "

" Bligh's narrative is a bit dry, but he spins an unbeliveable tale of survival. Hard to believe he was cought totally off guard by the mutiny. "
