The Pirate's Daughter Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This was an odd read. The premise is that Errol Flynn, after building a house for himself in Jamaica, gets involved with a very young wman who ends up having his child - a daughter named May. May grows to adulthood on the island at the same time that Jamaica itself is going through political turmoil - some kind of parallel there, I guess. The book is so stuffed with characters and events - some more interesting than others - that ultimately, the Flynn connection was the least meaningful thing about it. "

" A fictunal book based on the philandering of Errol Flynn. It was good and is set in Jamaca. "

" Very informative. I learned a lot about the history of Jamaica and a culture I knew nothing about prior to reading this book. I was also fascinated by the story line connecting with Errol Flynn. Very eye opening and emotional. Loved it. "

" Ok. Not horribly entertaining, but not too terribly bad. Not a struggle to get through, although it did feel a bit drawn out. Interesting to see how the mother daughter relationship evolved and changed to how they related to each other as women. "

" I was fascinated by the historical aspects of this book. I knew very little about Jamaica, and likely still know very little, but was interested in the cultural racial makeup of Jamaica, as well as the division along socio-economic lines, and the effect it has on people's opportunities. "

" Different from what I normally would read, but very enlightening when it comes to the struggles of Jamaican culture, politics and class "

" You will fall in love with this book so quickly, i only wish i had read it before going to jamaica, as the need to see this place was huge when reading it. Love the Film star glamour element with a history lesson included, page turner and fun to read. "

" Not my cup of tea, got bogged down. "

" It seems a bit unimaginative to describe a book as boring but that's exactly what this was. I finished it less than a week ago and can't remember that much about it. An awful lot happened in the last 100-so pages but I'd kind of lost interest by then. "

" I wasn't particularly seized by the writing or the characters but it's an intriguing story - the made-up life of Errol Flynn's imaginary biracial illegitimate daughter based on his actual exploits in Jamaica during the peak and twilight of his fame. "

" This is the story of Errol Flynn's adventures in Jamaica and of the daughter he fathered but never claimed. I never really cared about the characters. "

" well-written and engrossing historical fiction set in jamaica during the unrest and violence of the '70s (with flashbacks as well, to the main character's mother's childhood). really enjoyed it! "

" I liked this book about Errol Flynn. "

" An easy read, but not particularly inspiring. Historic events are the backdrop for what occasionally feels like a Mills & Boon with added Jamaican patois! "

" A look at like for the poor daughter of Eral Flynn on Jamaica. I adventure of discovery, but not very believable. "

" Didn't get into this book straight away, but after first couple of chapters was hooked. Loved the Jamaican dialect, description of the land, relationships and the political unrest. Good all round book. "

" Surprisingly interesting fictional tale that takes place in Jamaica. Errol Flynn was a cad that's for sure.... "

" This book was excellent. It's somewhat based on fact - Errol Flynn spent the later years of his life in Jamaica - but it's a fictionalized account of that time. This is probably one of my favorite books this year. "

" This was an entertaining read - for me, more like a summer book, nothing too heady, just fun. I loved getting a sense of the dialect and some of the political strife faced by the islanders in the 60's. "

" Very good book. I will read everything she writes. "

" well-written and engrossing historical fiction set in jamaica during the unrest and violence of the '70s (with flashbacks as well, to the main character's mother's childhood). really enjoyed it! "
