I actually enjoyed this book. The dialect was difficult at times to stay with, but all in all, it kept me engaged. This could also be because I am a pirate buff and many pirates I have heard and read about are in some way involved in the plot. The author takes great liberties with well known pirates, real and fictional, and sets a crafty adventure full of romance (well, sort of), violence (the "pirate" kind), and treasure (but of course). I definitely recommend for those who love a good pirate story.
