Bravo from Borneo
Lord Jim
Bravo! Bravo! This is one of the best period books I have had the pleasure and fortune to come across. My forth book from Frederick Marryat and his best so far. What is impressive is the author's ability to achieve such amazing depth in his descriptions...no matter whether of a particular pedestrian scene or a riveting adventure. I feel I was there seeing all that Mlldmay experienced. This is so much more than simply an exposition on naval life at the time...though his writings on this are certainly worthy of acclaim in their own right. No...this is the story of a young man's life lived to the full and how he is moulded by class...tradition...philosophical thinking....events and friendships. Crucially...it is his own honest account that is both reflective and quite sincere. I loved it.

Great autobiography of a naval officer during the Napoleonic War and the War of 1812. It is an unvarnished tale of his life and times. Highly readable.

What a wonderfully entertaining novel. If only it could have been Asterix reading it all the way through. I came to love the narrator/hero and I certainly hope he continued his naval and philandering career after the ending.
Edward Norris
Marryat is by far the better story teller than Dickens. I wish more people knew of him. As to the narrators, Asterix is a natural for the roll. His cadence, and careful attention to pronunciation are a real joy.

I have listened to 2or3 books by this author and can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoy them. The characters are easy to imagine with the clever descriptions.

OUTSTANDING! If you ever may only have one resource as to be allowed a reading, may this book & God's Honor allow you but a moment of peace or honest reflection: But For The Grace Of God There Go I. This is not a judgement & is purely an outlook of my own life. And those I have had a close connection with. This was a story we did not want to end.
