Book Review of Post Captain (Aubrey / Maturin, Bk 2)

Post Captain (Aubrey / Maturin, Bk 2)
reviewed on + 9 more book reviews


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.
