My first pirate story

I recommend reading the forewords before starting the story. I started this book with some skepticism because I don't usually read adventure stories so I was surprised when it was so hard to tear myself away from it each night. I found the very start slow and the very end a bit incredulous (well, it's a pirate story after all!) but the other 98% of the story was riveting. I found the foreword important because it helps to understand the author's frame of mind.
