Would you listen to Pirates again? Why?
Yes! I loved the relationships in this book - the give and take between Kate and Thatcher and the honest and loyal friendship between Thatcher and Bane. These characterizations lead to great dialogue that often had me laughing and always kept me riveted.
What other book might you compare Pirates to and why?
That's a tough one because this book stands out in the crowd. I would have to say that the banter and adventure reminds me of a Clive Cussler novel set in the 18th century - assuming that Mr. Cussler threw in a strong female lead to balance Dirk Pitt.
Which scene was your favorite?
There are tons of great action scenes in this book, but my favorites are the quite moments between Thatcher and Kate because the dialogue and action there are so witty and smart. To me the best of those is the scene in the small boat, but I don't want to throw out any spoilers.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. Couldn't turn it off.
Any additional comments?
James Clamp does a masterful job of narrating. Nothing like using a Brit to do UK accents!
