The Cruise of the Dazzler
Gelesen von Robert Keiper
Jack London
Young Joe Bronson, caught between poor grades and his father's threats of military school, runs away from home. He joins the crew of a sloop named the Dazzler, but quickly figures out his captain, Pete Le Maire (nicknamed "French Pete") frequently engages himself and those at his command in criminal activity. Will Joe be able to escape this unwanted and dangerous new life at sea?
Published in 1902, Jack London sold this book (his first full-length novel) as a boy's adventure novel set in San Francisco, his hometown. In his autobiography, London recalls lifting several more elements in this novel from his adolescence, as in youth he bought a sloop called the Razzle Dazzle from a oyster pirate nicknamed "French Frank." - Summary by Mary Kay (3 hr 38 min)

good read
good way to pass some time. I always enjoy Jack London. Call of the Wild and White Fang are my favorites comma but this one is a good book
Dated story, great voices

The story is predictable in the big picture, but has numerous twists to keep it interesting. The voices were delightful and mostly consistent.
