Book Review of The Commodore (Aubrey & Maturin, Bk 17)

The Commodore (Aubrey & Maturin, Bk 17)
reviewed on


This series just never gets old, boring or repetitive to me. I have enjoyed this one (the 17th) as much as any of the earlier ones and look forward to getting my hands on the next.
O'Brian's books are among the ones I'm seriously considering keeping on the shelf forever. Too bad for PaperBackSwap members if I do!
The writing is terrific, often humorous, the characters engaging and the history carefully researched and meticulously recreated without feeling the least like a history lesson.
