Michael H. (As with all of the Aubrey Maturin series, I finished this and was hungry for the next. I devoted most of a year reading the whole series and wish it could have gone on and on.
Known for writing naval adventures, Patrick O'Brian writes about 2 characters named Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin during the Napoleonic Wars.
The story line is good and his characters are likeable. However, his transition from scene to scene is choppy.
Unlike a couple of other authors who write in the same time period, he does not add any of the real day-to-day minutia.
